Artist/Band: Ferlin Husky
Lyrics for Song: Willie Was a Gamblin' Man
Lyrics for Album: True True Lovin' [Capitol] [1965]



(Ferlin Husky)



Three men down on the river bank rollin' them gamblin' bowls

I say one named Johnny, one named Samson

And the other was Willie Jones

The other was Willie Jones.



Well, Willie was a rollin' and shootin' at onc

He said this time I bet in a lose

Johnny's done won my new Stetson hat

And mama needs a new pair of shoes

Mama needs a new pair of shoes.



Willie (Willie was a gamblin' man)

Willie was a gamblin' man

Willie rolled them bowls all over the land

Willie was a gamblin' man.

Well, Willie was a gamblin' man.



Well, Willie got mad at Johnny he jerked out a big 44

He said you've got my stetson and all of my money

But you ain't a gonna get no more

I know you ain't a gonna get no more.



He said Johnny boy I'm gonna kill you

I'm gonna shoot you and that ain't all

When my bullet goes through your head

I'm gonna bet a which a way you're gonna fall

I'm gonna bet a which a way you're gonna fall.



Willie (Willie was a gamblin' man)

Willie was a gamblin' man

Willie rolled them bowls all over the land

Willie was a gamblin' man.

Well, Willie was a gamblin' man.



Well, the sheriff he came got poor Willie

Took him to the hanging tree

He said sheriff I'll bet ye that I'm still kickin'

When the sun goes down on me

When the sun goes on me.



Everybody went to the graveyard

To watch 'em bury poor Willie Jones

And on the top of his grave they had a great big sign

Said here lies a gambler and his bowles

Here lies Willie Jones.



Willie (Willie was a gamblin' man)

Willie was a gamblin' man

Willie rolled them bowls all over the land

Willie was a gamblin' man.

Well, Willie was a gamblin' man.



Yes, Willie was a gamblin' man

I said Willie was a gamblin' man...
