Lyrics The Gambler - Cisco Houston

"Good morning mister railroad man.
What time do your trains roll by?"
"At nine-sixteen and two-forty-four
And twenty five minutes till five."
"It's nine-sixteen and two-forty-four,
Twenty-five minutes till five,
Thank you mr. railroad man,
I want to watch your trains roll by."
Standing on a platform,
Smoking a cheap cigar
Waiting for an old freight-train
That carries an empty car.
Well, i pulled my hat down over my eyes,
And i walked across the track,
And i caught me the end of an old freight-train,
And i never did come back.
I sat down in a gamblin' game,
And i could not play my hand,
Just thinkin' about that woman that i love
Run away with another man.

Run away with another man, poor boy
Run away with another man,
I was thinking about that woman that i love,
Run away with another man.
