Intro: verse 1 I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down lay my money down verse 2 I had not been in Frisco many more weeks than three I met up with a pretty little gal She fell in love with me Fell in love with me fell in love with me verse 3 She took me in her parlor cooled me with her fan Whispered low in her mother's ear I love this gambling man Love this gambling man love this gambling man verse 4 Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so Leave your dear old mother And with a gambler go With a gambler go with a gambler go Verse 5 My mother oh my mother you can not understand If you ever see me a coming back I'll be with a gambling man With a gambling man with a gambling man Verse 6 I left her there in Frisco and I wound up in Maine I met up with a poker player And got in a poker game Got in a poker game got in a poker game Verse 7 We put our money in the pot and dealt the cards around I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck And I shot that gambler down Shot the gambler down shot the gambler down Verse 8 Well now I'm in the jail house got a number for my name The Warden said as he locked the door You've gambled your last game Gambled your last game gambled your last game Outro Gambled your last game gambled your last game
