Verse 1
(D major) Come around you rovin' gamblers
and a story (G major) I (D major) will tell
About the greatest gambler
you all (G major) should know (D major) and well
His name was Will O' Connolly
and he gambled (G major) all (D major) his life
He had twenty (G major) -seven children
yet he's never (D major) had a wife
And it's right, Willie, right, roll, roll
Well, (G major) if you're (D major) a gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
He gambled in the White House
and in (G major) the railroad yard (D major) s
Wherever there was people,
there was Willie and his cards
He had the reputation
as the gamblinest man around
Wives (G major) would keep their husbands
home
when Willie (A major) came to town
And it's ride, (D major) Willie, ride, roll, Willie, roll
Well, (G major) you're (D major) a gamblin' now,
nobody (A major) really knows (D major)
Sailin' down to Mississippi,
to a town called New Orleans
They're still talkin' about that card game
on that Jackson (G major) River, (D major) Queen
I've come (G major) to win (D major) some money,
gamblin' (G major) Willie (D major) says
When the (G major) game finally ended up,
the (D major) whole (A major) damn boat (E minor) was his
And (D major) it's ride Willie, ride, roll
Willie, roll
Well, (G major) he's over (D major) gamblin' now,
(A major) nobody really knows (D major)
Up in the Rocky Mountains,
in a town called Crippled Creek
There was an all -night poker game,
lasted about a week
Nine hundred miners
had laid (G major) their money (D major) down
When Willie (G major) fi nally left the room,
he owned (A major) the whole damn town
And it's ride, (D major) Willie, ride, roll, Willie, roll
Well, (G major) you're (D major) a gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
But Willie had a heart of gold,
and this I know is true
He supported all his children
and all their mothers, too
He wore no rings or fancy things
like other gamblers wore
He spread his money (G major) far and wide
to help (A major) the sick and the poor
And it's right, (D major) Willie, right,
for old Willie O 'Rourke
Well, you're a gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
When you played your cards with Willie,
you never really knew
Whether he was bluffin'
or whether he was true
He won a fortune
from a man who folded in his chair
The man, left a diamond flush,
Willie didn't (A major) even have a pad
Man, (D major) that's right, Willie, right,
roll, Willie, roll
Wherever (G major) you're (D major) a -gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
It was late one evening,
during a poker game
A man lost all his money,
said Willie was to blame
He shot poor Willie through the head,
which was a tragic fate
And Willie's cards fell on the floor,
they were aces backed (A major) with eights
And (D major) it's ride Willie, ride, roll
Willie, roll
Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
So all you rovin' gamblers,
wherever you might be
The moral of the story is very (C sharp major) plain (D major) to see
Make your money while (C sharp major) you can,
before you have to stop
(D major) For (C sharp major) when you pull that dead (D major) man's hand,
your gamblin' days (A major) are up
And (D major) it's (C sharp major) ride, Willie, ride, (D major)
roll, Willie, roll
Wherever (C sharp major) you're a -gamblin' now,
nobody really knows.
