Rovin' Gambler By Dieks Bentley 7/5/2010 A I am the rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around A D A Whenever I meet with the deck of cards, I lay my money down A E A I lay my money down, I lay my money down A I had not been in Frisco many more weeks than three A D A Yea I met up with a pretty little girl, she fell in love with me A E A Fell in love with me, fell in love with me Fiddle solo She took me to her parlor, she cooled me with her fan Whispered low in her mother's ear "I love this gamblin' man" Love this gamblin man, love this gablin' man Daughter oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so And leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go With the gambler go, with the gambler go Acoustic guitar solo I left her in Frisco and I wound up in Maine I met up with a poker player and 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, I shot the gambler down Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down Mandolin solo Now I'm down in prison, got a number for my name The warden slammed the door and said "You've gambled your last game" Gambled your last game, gambled your last game Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
