[Intro]

D

[Verse 1]
D
I am a roving gambler I gambled down in town
D
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
   G               D
I lay my money down
                    G               D
Lay my money down, lay my money down

[Verse 2]
D
I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three
D
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
     G                  D
She fell in love with me
                           G                  D
Fell in love with me, she fell in love with me

[Verse 3]
D
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
D
She whispered low in her mother's ear
   G                    D
I love that gambling man
                         G                    D
Love that gambling man, love that gambling man

[Verse 4]
D
I hear that train a coming, coming round the curve,
D
Whistling and a blowin,
G                    D
straining every nerve
                        G                   D
Straining every nerve, straining every nerve

[Verse 5]
D
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?
D
Leave your dear mama
G                    D
And with a gambler go
                    G               D
With a gambler go, with a gambler go

D
I hear that train a coming, coming round the curve,
D
Whistling and a blowin,

straining every nerve
                        G                   D
Straining every nerve, straining every nerve

[Verse 7]
D
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan

D
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town

Wherever I lay my money down
G                D
Lay my money down

Lay my money down, lay my money down
