(with The Punch Brothers)
|
I am the rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
|
Whenever I meet with the deck of cards,
|
I lay my money down
|
I lay my money down, I lay my money down
|
|
Had not been in Frisco many more weeks than three
|
Yea I met up with a pretty little girl,
|
She fell in love with me
|
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
|
|
She took me to her parlor, she cooled me with her fan
|
Whispered low in her mother's ear "I love this gamblin' man"
|
Love this gamblin man, love this gablin' man
|
|
Daughter oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so
|
Leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go
|
With the gambler go, with the gambler go
|
|
I left her in Frisco and I wound up in Maine
|
I met up with a poker player and 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, shot the gambler down
|
Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down
|
|
Now I'm down in prison, got a number for my name
|
The warden slammed the door and said "You've gambled your last game"
|
Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
|
Gambled your last game, gambled your last game
|
