Verse 1
I (D major) am (G major) (D major) a roving gambler.
I've gambled all (A major) around. (D major)
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards,
I lay (G major) my money down. (D major)
I lay my money down. (G major)
I lay my money down. (D major)
I had not been in Dallas
many more weeks and three
Till I fell in love with a pretty little girl
(A major) She fell (G major) in love with me, (D major)
fell in love with me
Fell (G major) in love with me (D major)
She took me in her parlor,
she cooled me with a fan
And she whispered low in her mother's ear
I love (G major) this gamblin' man, (D major)
love this gamblin' man,
(G major) love this gamblin' (D major) man
Oh daughter, oh dear daughter,
how could you treat me so?
I'd leave your dear old mother
and with (G major) the gambler go, (D major)
with the gambler go, (G major) with the gambler go (D major)
Oh mother, oh dear mother,
you know I love you well
But the love I have for this gambling man,
no hu (G major) man tongue can tell (D major)
No human tongue can tell,
(G major) no human tongue can tell (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
I left that gal in Dallas,
I wound up in Maine
I met up with a gambling man,
we got (G major) in a poker game
(D major) Got in a poker game,
(G major) got in a poker game (D major)
He put his money in the pot
and dealt the cards around
I saw him get a jack
from the bottom of the pack,
so I (G major) shot that gambler down, (D major)
shot that gambler down,
(G major) shot that gambler down. (D major)
Well, now I'm down in prison,
I got a number for my name.
The warden said as he locked the door,
you gambled (G major) your last game. (D major)
Gambled your last game,
(G major) gambled your last game (D major)
Gambled your last game,
(G major) gambled your last game (D major)
Gambled your last game,
gambled your last game
