New Rovin' Gambler

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.)
