paroles de chanson I Am a Rovin' Gambler - The Brothers Four

I am a roving gambler,
I gamble all around
And when I see a deck of cards
I'll lay my money down.
I'll lay my money down.
I'll lay my money down.

I've gambled down in Washington,
I've gambled up in Maine
I'm headin' down to Tennessee
To knock down my last game.
To knock down my last game.
To knock down my last game.

I had not been in Washington
Not many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little gal,
And she fell in love with me.
She fell in love with me.
She fell in love with me.

She took me to her parlor,
She cooled me with her fan
She whispered in her mother's ear,
"I love that gambling man.
I love that gambling man.
I love that gambling man."

"I wouldn't marry a railroad man,
This is the reason why
I never seen a railroad man
Wouldn't tell his wife a lie.
Wouldn't tell his wife a lie.
Wouldn't tell his wife a lie."

"Oh mother, oh dear mother
I'll tell you if I can
If you ever see me coming back
It'll be with a gamblin' man.
It'll be with a gamblin' man.
It'll be with a gamblin' man."

I am a roving gambler,
I've gamble all around
And when I see a deck of cards
I'll lay my money down.
I'll lay my money down.
I'll lay my money down.

And when I see a deck of cards
I'll lay my money down.
I'll lay my money down.
I'll lay my money down...
