[E]
[B] [E]
I am a roving gambler, gamble all around,
[E] Whenever I [B] meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money [B] down.
Lay my money down, lay my money down.
I had not been in Frisco many more weeks than three,
[E] I met up with [B] a pretty little girl, [E] she fell in love with me.
Fell in love with me, [F#] fell in love.
[B]
[E]
She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan,
Whispered [B] a lull in her mother's ear, [E] love is [B] gambling man.
Love is gambling man, [F#] love is [B] gambling man.
Oh daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
[E] Leave me dear old [C#] [E] mother and with the [B] gambler go.
With the gambler go, with the gambler go.
[E]
Oh mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can,
[E] If you ever see [B] me coming back, [E] I'll be with the [B] gambling man.
With the gambling man, [F#] with the gambling man.
I left her in Frisco, I wound up in Maine,
[E] I [B] met up with a gambling [E] man, we got into [B] poker game.
Got into poker game, [C#] got into poker [B] game.
He put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around,
[E] Saw him deal [B] from the bottom of the deck, [E] so I shot the [B] gambler down.
Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down.
Now I'm down in prison, got a number for my name,
[E] The warden said as he locked the door, [E] gamble your [B] last game.
Gamble your last game, gamble your last game.
