Generate meaning
1
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
2
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
3
Lay my money down, lay my money down
4
I had not been in Washington not many more weeks than three
5
When I fell in love with a pretty little gal, she fell in love with me
6
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
7
She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with her fan
8
She whispered low in her mother's ear, "I love that gambling man''
9
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man
10
"Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
11
To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?''
12
With a gambler go, with a gambler go
13
I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled over in Spain
14
I'm goin' down to Georgia to gamble my last game
15
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game
16
"Oh mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
17
But the love I have for this gambling man, no human tongue can tell''
18
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell
19
"I hear that train a-coming, coming 'round the curve
20
A-whistling and a-blowing straining every nerve"
21
Strainin' every nerve, strainin' every nerve
22
"Mother, oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
23
If you ever see me comin' back, I'll be with the gambling man
24
Be with the gambling man
25
Be with the gambling man"
26
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled down in town
27
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
28
Lay my money down, lay my money down
