Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][E][Am][E]

[Verse 1]
I am a roving [Am]gambler
I've gambled all around
And wherever I [E]see a deck of cards
I lay my [Am]money down, lay my
[Dm]money down
I lay my money [Am]down

[Verse 2]
I've gambled [E]down in
[Am]Washington
Gambled up [E]in Maine
[Am]I'm heading down to
Tennessee
To knock down [E]my [Am]last game,
knock down my last game
[E]To knock down my [Am]last game

[Verse 3]
[Am]I had not been [Dm]in Washing[G]ton
Many more [Am]week[E] s t[Am]han three
[E]When I fell in love with [Am]a pretty little gal
And she fell in love with
me, fell in love with [E]me
She fell in love with [Am]me

[Verse 4]
She took [Am]me to her [Dm]parlor
[E]She cooled me [Am]with[E][Am]
[E]her [Am]fan
She whispered [Dm]in her mother's ear,
'I [Am]love [E]that gambling man,
love that [Am]gambling man
I [E]love that [Am]gambling man.'

[Verse 5]
'I wouldn't [E]marry a [Am]railroad man
This is the reason why.
I've never seen [E]a
railroad man
[Am]Who wouldn't tell his wife
a lie, tell his wife [Dm]a lie
Wouldn't tell his [Am]wife a [E]lie.'

[Verse 6]
'Oh mother, [Am]oh dear mother
I'll tell [E]you if I can
[Am]If you ever see me coming back,
It'll be with a [E]gambling
man, be with [Am]a gambling man
It'll be with a gambling man.'

[Verse 7]
I am [E]the roving [Am]gambler
I've gambled all around
And wherever I [Dm]see a deck of cards
I lay my [Am]money [E]down, lay[Am] my mon[E]ey down
I [Am]lay my money down

[Verse 8]
[Am]And wherever I see a deck of cards
I [E]lay my [Am]money down, lay my [Dm]money down
[E]Lay my [Am]money down

[Outro 1]
[Am][Dm][E][Am]
