I gambled all around
And whenever I see a deck of cards,
well I lay my money down, boys
I lay my money down,
and I have gambled down in Georgia
I gambled up in Maine,
I'm going on down to Texas
For to gamble my last game, boys,
to gamble my last game
Now as I come into Danville town,
I got stuck on a Danville girl
I said, boys, the chick was out of sight,
she wore the Danville curl, boys
She wore the Danville curl
and she wore a hat on the side of her head
Like the highborn folks all do,
the very next train come down the line
I bit the gal and she, boys,
I said, I bit the gal too
Oh, yes, I did.
You know, she took me to a party
She cooled me with her fan
And she whispered low in her mammy's ear
I love the gamblin' man,
oh I love the gamblin' man
And she said, now daughter,
dearest daughter
How can you treat me so
To leave your own dear mother
With the gambler gold girl,
with the gambler gold
I wouldn't marry no farmer,
cause he is al ways in the rain
I would rather marry a gambling man
with his great big watch and chain,
With his great big watch and chain
And I wouldn't marry no miller,
cause he is always in the dirt
I would rather marry a gambling man
with his great big fancy shirt, Ma
With his lovely silky shirt
and then she took me to a boudoir
She did all that she could do,
and the very next train
come down the line,
I bit the gal at you boys,
I said I bit the gal at you
You know that I'm a roving gambler,
and I gambled all around,
and whenever I see a deck of cards,
well I lay my money down boys
I lay my money down
and I have gambled out in Texas
Oh, I gambled out in Spain,
but I'm going on down to New Orleans
To gamble my last game, boys,
to gamble my last game
