Well, I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around,
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money down,
I lay my [C#] money down, I lay my [F#] money down.
I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three,
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl,
She fell in love with me, she fell in love [C#] with me,
Fell [F#] in love with me.
She took me to her parlor, and cooled me with her fan,
I whispered low in her mama's ear, I love this gambling man,
I love this gambling [C#] man, I [F#m] love this [F#] gambling man.
Daughter, oh dear daughter, what makes you treat me so,
To leave your dear old [B] mama with this [F#] gambler girl?
Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well,
But the love I have for a gambling man [B] no human tongue [F#] can tell,
No human tongue [C#] can tell, human tongue [F#] can tell.
[C#]
[F#] Well, I hear the train a-comin', comin' around the curve,
A-whistlin' and a-blowin', strainin' every [F#] nerve,
Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can,
If you ever see me a-comin' [B] again, I'll be with [F#] the gambling man,
Be with the [C#] gambling man, be with the gambling [G#m] man.
