Artist/Band: Eddy Arnold
Lyrics for Song: Roving Gambler
Lyrics for Album: Wanderin' (Bonus Tracks) [Country Stars] [2006]



(E. Seigmaister)



I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around

Whenever I need with the deck of cards I lay my money down

I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain

I'm on my way to Tennessee to get down my last game.



I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three

When I fell in love with a pretty little maid who she in love with me

She took me in her parlor she cooled me with her fan

She whispered low in mother's ear I love that gambling man.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh daughter, oh dear daughter, how could you treat me so

To leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go

Oh mother my 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 no human tongue can tell.



--- Instrumental ---



I wouldn't marry a farmer he's always in the rain

I wouldn't marry a railroad man who's always on a train

I wouldn't marry a doctor he's always gone from home

All I want is the gambling man fore he leave me alone.



--- Instrumental ---



I hear a train a coming a coming roun the curve

A whistlin' and a blowin' and strainin' every nerve

Oh mother oh dear mother I'll tell you if I can

If you ever see me coming back I'll be with that gambling man...
