I am a roving gambler.
I've gambled all around.
I lay my money down.
G
D
Lay my money down.
I had not been in Sydney
many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
G
D
and she fell in love with me
G
D
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
She took me in her parlor,
she cooed me with her fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear,
G
D
love this gamblin' man
Oh daughter, oh dear daughter,
how could you treat me so?
And leave me here,
your old mother dear,
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 gamblin' man

Well, I left that girl in Sydney
And I wound up in Cairns
I met up with a real card shop
G
D
and we got in a poker game
G
D
Got in a poker game, 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've 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,
How did you like the song?
