Il testo della Roving gambler

I am a roving gambler i've gambled all around
Whenever i need with the deck of cards i lay my money down
I've gambled down in washington i've gambled over in spain
I'm on my way to tennessee to get down my last game

I had not been in washington many more weeks than three
When i fell in love with a pretty little maid who she in love with me
She took me in her parlor she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in mother's ear i love that gambling man
( guitar )
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how could you treat me so
To leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go
Oh mother my dear mother you know i love you well
But the love i have for the gambling man no human tongue can tell
No human tongue can tell no human tongue can tell
( guitar )
I wouldn't marry a farmer he's always in the rain
I wouldn't marry a railroad man who's always on a train
I wouldn't marry a doctor he's always gone from home
All i want is the gambling man fore he leave me alone
( guitar )
I hear a train a coming a coming roun the curve
A whistlin' and a blowin' and strainin' every nerve
Oh mother oh dear mother i'll tell you if i can
If you ever see me coming back i'll be with that gambling man
