New Rovin' Gambler
I am a rovin' gambler, i've gambled all around where-{} ver i meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down (i lay my money down; lay my money down.) i had not been in 'frisco, many more weeks than three 'til i fell in love with a pretty little girl she fell in love with me (fell in love with me; fell in love with me.) She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan she whispered low in her mother's ear 'i love this gamblin' man.' ('love this gamblin' man.'; 'love this gamblin' man.') 'oh! daughter, oh! dear daughter, how could you treat me so? and leave your dear old mother and with a gambler go?' ('with a gambler go?'; 'with a gambler go?') 'oh mother, oh dear mother, you know i love you well But the love i have for this gamblin' man 'no human tongue can tell.' ('no human tongue can tell.'; 'no human tongue can tell.') i left that gal in 'frisco, and i wound up in maine I met up with a gamblin' man we got in a poker game (got in a poker game; got in a poker game.) he put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around i saw him deal from the bottom of the deck So i shot that gambler down (shot that gambler down; shot that gambler down.) well, now i'm down in prison, i 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.)
