《Roving Gambler》歌词

[00:00:05] I am a roving gambler

[00:00:06] I've gambled all around

[00:00:08] When ever I meet with a deck of cards

[00:00:10] I lay my money down

[00:00:14] I've gambled down in Washington

[00:00:16] I've gambled over in Spain

[00:00:17] I'm going back to Portland

[00:00:19] To gamble my last game

[00:00:25] Had an Uncle Bill in Portland

[00:00:27] Many more weeks but three

[00:00:28] I fell in love with a pretty little girl

[00:00:30] She fell in love with me

[00:00:35] She took me to her parlor

[00:00:36] Cooled me with a fan

[00:00:38] Whispered low in her mother's ear

[00:00:40] I'm in love with a gambling man

[00:00:46] Tell me my dear daughter

[00:00:47] How can you treat me so?

[00:00:49] Save your poor old mother

[00:00:50] And with the gambler drove

[00:00:52] Mother oh dear Mother

[00:00:52] I'll tell you if I can

[00:00:55] If you ever see me coming back

[00:00:56] It'll be with a gambling man

[00:00:57] I am a roving gambler

[00:00:57] I've gambled all around

[00:00:58] When ever I met with a deck of cards

[00:00:59] I laid my money down

[00:00:59] I've gambled down in Washington

[00:01:00] I've gambled over in Spain

[00:01:01] I'm going back to Portland

[00:01:01] To gamble my last game

[00:01:06] The earlier version by the Hart Valley Drifters is:

[00:01:07] I am a roving gambler

[00:01:07] I've gambled all around

[00:01:08] Wherever I meet with a deck of cards

[00:01:09] I lay my money down

[00:01:10] Lay my money down, lay my money down

[00:01:11] Had not been in [Frisco

[00:01:11] Many more weeks but three

[00:01:12] When I fell in love with a pretty girl

[00:01:13] And she fell in love with me

[00:01:13] Fell in love with me, fell in love with me

[00:01:15] She took me to her parlor

[00:01:15] Cooled me with a fan

[00:01:16] Whispered low in her mother's ear

[00:01:18] I love that gambling man

[00:01:19] Love that gambling man, love that gambling man

[00:01:21] Oh daughter, oh dear daughter

[00:01:22] How can you treat me so

[00:01:22] To leave your dear old mother

[00:01:23] And with a gambling man go

[00:01:24] With a gambling man go, with a gambling man go

[00:01:27] Oh mother, oh dear mother

[00:01:29] I'll tell you if I can

[00:01:30] If you ever see me coming back

[00:01:32] It'll be with a gambling man

[00:01:34] With a gambling man, with a gambling man

[00:01:36] I hear a train a-coming

[00:01:36] Coming round the curve

[00:01:37] Whistling and a-blowing

[00:01:37] And straining every nerve

[00:01:38] Straining every nerve, straining every nerve

[00:01:40] I am a roving gambler

[00:01:41] I've gambled all around

[00:01:41] Wherever I meet with a deck of cards

[00:01:42] I lay my money down

[00:01:43] Lay my money down, lay my money down
