Lyrics Dying Gambler - Blind Willie McTell
I'll
tell
you
of
the
poor
young
man
He
gambled
night
and
day
He
fell
sick
down
on
his
death
bed
He
tried
but
he
could
not
breath
His
friends
have
left
him
on
by
one
And
he
began
to
cry
Said,
"Boys,
oh
boys,
don't
leave
me
now
For
I
believe
I
am
going
to
die"
Now
tell
me
where's
that
gambler
(where's
the
gambler?)
I
wonder
where
the
poor
man's
gone
Tell
me
where's
the
gambler
(where's
the
gambler?)
Lord,
I
wonder
wher
the
poor
man's
gone
One
man
turned
around
and
looked
at
him
And
said
to
him,
"Oh,
well
I
believe
it
myself
you're
going
to
die
And
you're
sure
going
to
hell"
His
body
began
to
grow
so
weak
And
his
frame
began
to
shake
He
said
to
the
man
who
ran
the
game
"I
now
see
my
mistake"
"I
always
thought
I
was
a
fool
My
conscious
had
me
told
While
I
was
trying
to
be
someone
The
devil
had
won
my
soul"
Now
tell
me
where's
that
gambler
(where's
the
gambler?)
I
wonder
where
the
poor
man's
gone
Tell
me
where's
the
gambler
(where's
the
gambler?)
Lord,
I
wonder
wher
the
poor
man's
gone
Don't
you
take
my
body
to
no
church
house
Spend
nothing
on
my
remains
Somebody
will
think
that
I
am
faking
it
In
hell
I'll
be
in
pain
My
dice
and
cards
will
be
burning
my
hand
I
can
see
it
and
I
know
it
well
And
gamblers,
if
you
do
not
change
I'll
meet
you
when
you
come
to
hell
Now
tell
me
where's
that
gambler
(where's
the
gambler?)
I
wonder
where
the
poor
man's
gone
Tell
me
where's
the
gambler
(where's
the
gambler?)
Lord,
I
wonder
wher
the
poor
man's
gone
