Burl Ives - Roving Gambler I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around When ever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain I'm going back to Portland To gamble my last game Had an Uncle Bill in Portland Many more weeks but three I fell in love with a pretty little girl She fell in love with me She took me to her parlor Cooled me with a fan Whispered low in her mother's ear I'm in love with a gambling man Tell me my dear daughter How can you treat me so? Save your poor old mother And with the gambler drove 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 I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around When ever I met with a deck of cards I laid my money down I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain I'm going back to Portland To gamble my last game The earlier version by the Hart Valley Drifters is: I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down, lay my money down Had not been in [Frisco] Many more weeks but three When I fell in love with a pretty girl And she fell in love with me Fell in love with me, fell in love with me She took me to her parlor Cooled me with a fan Whispered low in her mother's ear I love that gambling man Love that gambling man, love that gambling man Oh daughter, oh dear daughter How can you treat me so To leave your dear old mother And with a gambling man go With a gambling man go, with a gambling man go 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 With a gambling man, with a gambling man I hear a train a-coming Coming round the curve Whistling and a-blowing And straining every nerve Straining every nerve, straining every nerve I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down, lay my money down
