[G][C]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I am [G]a roving gambler,
gambler all around
Whenev[C]er I meet with a [G]deck of
cards I [C]lay my [G]money down
Lay my money down, lay my money down
I had not been in
Frisco many more weeks and three
I [C]met up with a [G]pretty little girl,
she [C]fell in love with [G]me
Fell in love with me,
fell in love [C]with me[G][C][G]
She took me in her parlor,
she cooled me with a fan
[C]Whispered a lull in her [G]mother's ear,
[C]love a scamblin' [G]man
Love a scamblin' man,
love a scamblin' man
Oh daughter, oh dear daughter,
how can you treat me so?
Leave [C]you dear old [G]mother
and [C]with the gambler [G]go
With the gambler go,
with the gambler [C]go[G][C][G]
Oh mother, oh dear mother,
I'll tell you if I can
If [C]you ever see me [G]comin' back I'll
be [C]with the gamblin' [G]man
With the gamblin' man,
with the [D]gamblin' [G]man
I left her in
Frisco, I wound up in
Maine
I [C]met up with the [G]gamblin' man,
we [C]got in a poker [G]game
Got in a poker game,
[D]got in a poker [G]game[C][G][C][G][D][G][D]
[G]
He put his money in the pot and
dealt the cards around
Saw [C]him deal from [G]the bottom of
the deck, so he [C]shot the gambler [G]down
Shot the gambler down,
shot the gambler down
Now I'm down in prison,
got a number for my name
The [C]warden said,
as he [G]locked the door,
[C]Gamou, you'll escape
[G]Gamou, you'll escape,
[D]Gamou, you'll es[G]cape
