Capo 4
D
I am a roving gambler I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
G
Lay my money down, lay my money down
D
I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three
I met up with a pretty little girl
She fell in love with me
G
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
D
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love that gambling man
G
Love that gambling man, love that gambling man
D
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old mother
And with a gambler go
G
With a gambler go, with a gambler go
D
My mother oh dear mother you can not understand
If you ever see me a coming back
I'll be with a gambling man
G
With that gambling man, with that gambling man
D
I left her here in El Paso and I wound up in Maine
I met up with a gambling man
Got in a poker game
G
Got in a poker game, got in a poker game
D
We put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around
I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
And I shot that gambler down
G
Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down
D
Well, now I'm in the jailhouse got a number for my name
The Warden said as he locked the door
You've gambled your last game
G
Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
D
I am a roving gambler I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lay my money down
D
I am a roving gambler I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
G
Lay my money down, lay my money down
D
I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three
I met up with a pretty little girl
She fell in love with me
G
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
D
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love that gambling man
G
Love that gambling man, love that gambling man
D
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old mother
And with a gambler go
G
With a gambler go, with a gambler go
D
My mother oh dear mother you can not understand
If you ever see me a coming back
I'll be with a gambling man
G
With that gambling man, with that gambling man
D
I left her here in El Paso and I wound up in Maine

Got in a poker game, got in a poker game
