- _______
-
- I am a roving gambler, gambled
all around.
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money down boy,
Lay my money down. Lay my money down.
-
- I had not been in Washington,
many more weeks than three,
I met up 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 parlour,
she cooled me with her fan,
She whispered low in her mother's ear, I love that gambling man.
Love that gambling man. Love that gambling man.
