Verse 1
I (D major) am a roving gambler,
I've (F sharp minor) gambled all (B minor) around (D major)
Whenever I meet with a (B minor) deck of cards,
I (G major) lay my money down (D major)
I've gambled down in Washington,
(F sharp minor) I've gambled over (B minor) in Spain (D major)
I'm on my way to Tennessee, (B minor)
to play (G major) my last (D major) game

Verse 2
I (D major) had not been in Washington,
many (F sharp minor) more (B minor) weeks than three (D major)
When I fell in love with a (B minor) pretty little maid,
who fell (G major) in love with me (D major)
She took me in the parlor,
she cooled me (B minor) with her fan (D major)
She whispered low in her (B minor) mother's ear,
I love (G major) that gambling man

(D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 3
Oh daughter, (D major) oh dear daughter,
how could you treat (B minor) me so (D major)
To leave your dear old mother, (B minor)
and (G major) with the gambler go (D major)
Oh mother, my dear mother,
you know (F sharp minor) I love (B minor) you well (D major)
But the love I have for the (B minor) gambling man,
no (G major) human tongue can (D major) tell
(G major)
Verse 4
(D major)
I wouldn't marry a farmer,
(F sharp minor) he's always (B minor) in the rain (D major)
I wouldn't marry a (B minor) railroad man,
who's (G major) always on a train (D major)
I wouldn't marry a doctor,
he's al (F sharp minor) ways gone (B minor) from home (D major)
All I want is the (B minor) gambling man,
for he (G major) won't leave me alone
Interlude 2

Verse 5
I hear (D major) the train a- comin',
a- comin' round (B minor) the curve (D major)
A- whistlin' and a- blow (B minor) in',
and strainin' (G major) every nerve (D major)
Oh mother, oh dear mother,
I'll tell (F sharp minor) you (B minor) if I can (D major)
If you ever see me coming (B minor) back,
I'll (G major) be with a gambling man
