  827>Well, I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around
  Whenever I need my deck of cards I lay my money down
  I lay my money down I lay my money down
 
 
  I had not been in Washington many more days than three
  When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
  And she fell in love with me
  She fell in love with me fell in love with me
 
 
  She took me in her parlor cooled me with her fan
  Whispered low in Mama's ear I love this gambling man
  I love this gambling man love this gambling man
 
 
  Daughter oh dear daughter what makes you treat me so
  To leave your dear old Mama and with that gambler go
  Mother, oh dear Mother you know I love you well
  But the love I have for the gambling man
  No human tongue can tell
  No human tongue can tell human tongue can tell
 
 
  Well I hear the train a-commin', commin' around the curve
  Whistlin' and a blowin', strainin' every nerve
  Mother, oh dear Mother I'll tell you if I can
  If you ever see me commin' again, I'll be with a gamblin' man
  Be with a gamblin' man, be with a gamblin' man
