I AM A ROVING GAMBLER - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

I am a rovin' gambler

I've gambled all around

And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

I lay my money down

I've gambled down in Washington

Ga-ambled up in Maine;

I'm headed down to Tenessee-ee-ee

To knock down my last game

Knock down my last game

To knock down my last game

I had not been in Washington

Many more weeks than three

When I fell in love with a pretty little ga-a-al

And she fell in love with me

Fell in love with me

She fell in love with me

She took me to her parlor;

She cooled me with her fan;

She whispered in her mother's e-e-ear

"I love that gamblin' man

Love that gamblin' man

I love that gamblin' man

"I wouldn't marry a railroad man;

This is the reason why:

I've never seen a railroad ma-a-an

Wouldn't tell his wife a lie

Tell his wife a lie

Wouldn't tell his wife a lie

"Oh Mother oh dear Mother

I'll tell you if I can:

If you ever see me comin' ba-a-ack

It'll be with a gamblin' man

Be with a gamblin' man

It'll be with a gamblin' man"

I am a rovin' gambler

I've gambled all around

And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

I lay my money down

And wherever I see a deck of ca-a-ards

I lay my money down

Lay my money down

Lay my money down
