The Roving Gambler chords by Doc Watson
Verse 1
G
C
G
I am a rovin' gambler,
I gamble down in town
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards,
C
G
I lay my money down
I've gambled down in Washington,
gambled over in Spain
I'm a -goin' back to Georgia
C
G
C
G
to gamble my last game
C
G
I hadn't been in Washington
many more weeks and three
Till I fell in love with a pretty little girl
C
G
And she fell in love with me
She tucked me in her parlor
And she cooled me with her fan
And she whispered low in her mama's ear
C
G
I love that gamblin' man
Daughter oh dear daughter
How could you treat me so
To leave your dear old mother
C
G
And with the gambler go
Mother, oh dear mother,
you know I love you well
But the love I got for this gamblin' man
C
G
C
G
no hu man tongue can tell
I wouldn't marry a railroad man,
I can tell you the reason why
Did you ever see a guitar picker
C
G
that wouldn't tell his wife a lie?
I've gambled out in Washington,
gambled over in Spain,
I'm going back to Georgia to gamble
C
G
Oh, my last game
