Gamblin' Man

I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man

Well, I gambled up in Washington
I gambled up in Maine
I'm on my way to Georgia
To knock down my last game

I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man

Well, I had not been in Washington
Many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she fell in love with me

I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man

Well, she [?] in her parlour
Cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear
"I love that gambling man"

I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man, man, man
I'm a gambling man

Well, Momma, my dear Momma
You know I love you well
But the love I hold for the gambling man
No human tongue could tell

He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man

Well, Daughter, my dear Daughter
How can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old momma
And with that gambler go

He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man

Well, I would not marry a farmer
He's always in the rain
I'd rather marry a gambling man
With a big old watch and chain

He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man

Well, I would not marry no banjo man
He's going just to pray
I'd rather marry a gambling man
With a big old watch and chain

He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man, man, man
He's a gambling man

I hear that train a-coming
It's rolling around the curve
It's whistling and a-blowing
Straining every nerve

Gambling man, man, man
Gambling man, man, man
Gambling man, man, man
Gambling man
Gambling man, man, man
Gambling man, man, man
Gambling man, man, man
Gambling man
