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