New Rowin' Gambler Songtext

von Hank Thompson

I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
(I Lay my money donw - 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)
