roving gambler
Singer:armstrong, billie joe
i am a roving gambler i gambled all around
whenever i meet with a deck of cards
i had not been in washington many more weeks than three
i met up with a pretty little girl
she took me in her parlour
she cooled me with her fan
she whispered low in her mother's ear
oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?
leave your dear old mother
my mother oh dear mother you can not understand
if you ever see me a coming back
i'll be with a gambling man
i left her here in el paso and i wound up in maine
i met up with a gambling man
we put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around
i saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
and i shot that gambler down
now i'm in the jailhouse got a number for my name
the warden said as he locked the door
you've gambled your last game
i am a roving gambler i gambled all around
whenever i meet with a deck of cards
