the roving gambler - doc watson lyrics
[verse 1]
i am a roving gambler, i gamble down in town
wherever i meet with a deck of cards, i lay my money down
i’ve gambled down in washington, gambled over in spain
i’m a*going back to georgia to gamble my last game
[verse 2]
i hadn’t been in washington many more weeks than three
till i fell in love with a pretty little girl, and she fell in love with me
she took me in her parlor, and she cooled me with her fan
and she whispered low in her mama’s ear, “i love that gamblin’ man”
[verse 3]
“daughter, oh dear daughter, how could you treat me so
to leavе your dear old mother and, with a gambler, go”
“mothеr, oh dear mother, you know i love you well
but the love i got for this gamblin’ man, no human tongue can tell”
[verse 4]
i wouldn’t marry a railroad man, i can tell you the reason why
did you ever see a guitar picker that wouldn’t tell his wife a lie, ha ha
i’ve gambled down in washington, gambled over in spain
i’m a*going back to georgia to gamble my last game
