Roving Gambler Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I am a roving gam[G]ble[D]r
I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my [G]money [D]down
Lay my [G]money [D]down,
[G]lay[D] my[G] mon[D]ey [G]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
Fell in love with me, [G]fell in love with [D]me
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
Love that gambling man,
[G]love that gambling [D]man
Oh daughter oh dear daughter
how can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old mother
And with a gambler go
With a gambler go, [G]with [D]a g[G]ambler g[D]o
My mother oh dear mother
you can not understand
If you ever see me a coming back
I'll be with a gambling man
With a gambling man,
[G]with a [D]gambling man
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
Got in a poker game, [G]got in a poker [D]game
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
Shot the gambler down,
[G]shot the gambler [D]down
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
Gambled your last game,
gambled your last game
I am a rov[G]ing gam[D]bler
I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
Lay my [G]money [D]down, lay my money down

[Outro 1]
