New Rovin' Gambler

Hank Thompson

I am a rovin' gambler, i've gambled all around where-{} ver
 i meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down (i lay my money down; 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.)
