Rovin' Gambler
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
Lady fortune's my trade
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down
Got a pretty little gal in New Orleans, her name is Mary Lou
Though I ain't never seen her in
fourteen years, she promised she'd be true
Hey, poor old Mary Lou
There's an old maid livin' in Abilene, her name is Paulee Anne
She claims if she ever gets wed'd up, it's gonna be to a gamblin' man
So long, Paulee Anne
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down
Well, I never cheat at gamblin' cuz it makes some people sore
But just in case I got an extra ace and a big long 44
A red hot 44!
Now the preachers say that the gamblin' man is on the road to sin
But every time that I start to quit
That's when I start to win
Lord, I rake that money in
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down
Lay my money down!!!
Lady fortune's my trade
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down
Got a pretty little gal in New Orleans, her name is Mary Lou
Though I ain't never seen her in
fourteen years, she promised she'd be true
Hey, poor old Mary Lou
There's an old maid livin' in Abilene, her name is Paulee Anne
She claims if she ever gets wed'd up, it's gonna be to a gamblin' man
So long, Paulee Anne
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down
Well, I never cheat at gamblin' cuz it makes some people sore
But just in case I got an extra ace and a big long 44
A red hot 44!
Now the preachers say that the gamblin' man is on the road to sin
But every time that I start to quit
That's when I start to win
Lord, I rake that money in
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down
Lay my money down!!!
