I am a roving gambler
I gambled all around
Whenever I'd meet them deck of cards
I'd lay my money down
Lay my money down
Lay my money down
Hadn't been to Frisco
Many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
That fell in love with me
Fell in love with me
Fell in love with me
She took me to her parlor
She cooled me with her fan
Whispered low in her mother's ear
Love the gambling man
Love the gambling man
Love the gambling man
Oh, daughter, oh dear daughter
How can you treat me so
And leave your dear old mother
In with the gambler gold
With the gambler gold
With the gambler gold
Now mother, oh dear mother
You know I love you well
But the love I have for the gambling man
No human tongue can tell
No human tongue can tell
No human tongue can tell
I left her in Frisco
I wound up in Maine
There I met with the gambling man
And got in a poker game
Got in a poker game
Got in a poker game
Well, we put the money in the pot
Dealt the cards around
Saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
So shot the gambler down
Shot the gambler down
Shot the gambler down
Well now, down in the jailhouse
Got a number four by name
Warden said when he locked the door
You've gambled your last game
Gambled your last game
Gambled your last game
