    Verse 1
    I am a roving 
    gambler 

    I've 
    gambled all around 

    And 
    wherever 
    I 
    see 
    a 
    deck 
    of cards 

    I lay my 
    money 
    down, lay 
    my 

    money 
    down 

    I lay my money 
    down 

    Verse 2
    I've gambled 
    down in 

    Washington 

    Gambled 
    up 
    in 
    Maine 

    I'm 
    heading down 
    to 

    Tennessee 

    To knock down 
    my 
    last 
    game, 

    knock down 
    my last 
    game 

    To 
    knock down 
    my 
    last 
    game 

    Verse 3
    I had not 
    been 
    in Washing
    ton 

    Many 
    more 
    week
    s 
    than 
    three 

    When 
    I 
    fell 
    in love with 
    a pretty 
    little 
    gal 

    And 
    she fell 
    in love with 

    me, fell 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    me 

    She fell 
    in love with 
    me 

    Verse 4
    She took 
    me to her 
    parlor 

    She 
    cooled 
    me 
    with 

    her 
    fan 

    She whispered 
    in 
    her 
    mother's ear, 

    'I 
    love 
    that 
    gambling man, 

    love 
    that 
    gambling 
    man 

    I 
    love 
    that 
    gambling 
    man.' 

    Verse 5
    'I 
    wouldn't 
    marry a 
    railroad 
    man 

    This is 
    the reason 
    why. 

    I've never seen 
    a 

    railroad 
    man 

    Who wouldn't 
    tell 
    his wife 

    a lie, tell 
    his wife 
    a 
    lie 

    Wouldn't 
    tell his 
    wife a 
    lie.' 

    Verse 6
    'Oh 
    mother, 
    oh 
    dear mother 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    if I 
    can 

    If you ever 
    see me 
    coming 
    back, 

    It'll 
    be 
    with a 
    gambling 

    man, be with 
    a 
    gambling 
    man 

    It'll 
    be with a 
    gambling 
    man.' 

    Verse 7
    I am 
    the roving 
    gambler

    I've gambled 
    all around 

    And 
    wherever 
    I 
    see 
    a deck of cards 

    I lay my 
    money 
    down, 
    lay my 
    money 
    down 

    I 
    lay 
    my money 
    down 

    Verse 8
    And wherever 
    I see a deck of 
    cards 

    I 
    lay 
    my 
    money 
    down, 
    lay 
    my 
    money 
    down 

    Lay 
    my 
    money 
    down

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
