Capo 1
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
I am a roving gambler I gambled down in town
D
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
G D
I lay my money down
G D
Lay my money down, lay my money down
[Verse 2]
D
I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three
D
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
G D
She fell in love with me
G D
Fell in love with me, she fell in love with me
[Verse 3]
D
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
D
She whispered low in her mother's ear
G D
I love that gambling man
G D
Love that gambling man, love that gambling man
[Verse 4]
D
I hear that train a coming, coming round the curve,
D
Whistling and a blowin,
G D
straining every nerve
G D
Straining every nerve, straining every nerve
[Verse 5]
D
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?
D
Leave your dear mama
G D
And with a gambler go
G D
With a gambler go, with a gambler go
[Instrumental]
