Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [G]am [C]a r[G]ovin' gambler,
I gamble down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards,
I [C]lay my money [G]down
I've gambled down in Washington,
gambled over in Spain
I'm a -goin' back to Georgia
to [C]gamble my last [G]game[C][G]
[C][G]
I hadn't been in Washington
many more weeks and three
Till I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she [C]fell in love with [G]me
She tucked me in her parlor
And she cooled me with her fan
And she whispered low in her mama's ear
I love [C]that gamblin' [G]man
Daughter oh dear daughter
How could you treat me so
To leave your dear old mother
And [C]with the gambler [G]go
Mother, oh dear mother,
you know I love you well
But the love I got for this gamblin' man
no [C]hu man tongue can [G]tell[C][G]
I wouldn't marry a railroad man,
I can tell you the reason why
Did you ever see a guitar picker
that wouldn't [C]tell his wife a [G]lie?
I've gambled out in Washington,
gambled over in Spain,
I'm going back to Georgia to gamble
Oh, [C]my last [G]game

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
