I am a rambling gambling man
I gamble down in town
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
I lay my money down
Now if you want to gamble
your luck you want to try
Just pa** the queens and check the kings
And bet your aces high
oh bet your aces high
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
Well I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
and I gamble when I can
I've gambled round in Vegas town
with money in my jeans
But I lost my money where I won my honey
way down in New Orleans
Way down in New Orleans
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
and I gamble when I can
Well she took me in her parlor
and cooled me with her fan
She swore I was the prettiest thing
in the shape of mortal man
in the shape of mortal man
My daughter my dear daughter
how can you leave me so?
And leave your dear old mama
and with this gambler go?
And with this gambler go?
He's a rambler he's a gambler
He's a rambling gambling man
Well he's a rambler he's a gambler
He's a rambling gambling man
Well deal around the cards
and give me just five cards
I'll show you rambling gambling men
A lover's hand of hearts
A lover's hand of hearts
I hear the train a-coming
She's blowing down the line
You can bet your stack when we come back
We'll beat three of a kind
We'll beat three of a kind
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a grambling gambling man
Well I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
And I gamble when I can
I'm a rambling gambling man
