Roving gambler — Bob Dylan

I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down (I Lay my money down; Lay my money down.)

I gambled up in Washington, gambled over in Spain I'm on my way to Frisco town to knock down my last game (knock down my last game; knock down my last game)

I had not been in 'Frisco, many more days than three I fell in love with a pretty little girl And she fell in love with me

She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan She whispered low in her mama's ear "I love this gamblin' man." ("Love this gamelin' man."; "Love this gamblin' man.")

"Daughter, Oh! dear daughter, how could you treat me so? And leave your dear old mother And with a gambler go?" ("With a gambler go?"; "With a gambler go?")

"Mother, Oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can If you ever see my face again, I'll be with the gamblin' man" ("be with the gamblin' man"; "be with the gamblin' man")

I left her in 'Frisco, I went up to Maine then I met with a gamblin' man and then we got into a poker game

He put some money in the pot, passed the cards around I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck So I shot the gambler down (Shot the gambler down; Shot the gambler down.)

Now I'm down in prison, I got a number for a name The warden said as he closed the door You've gambled your last game
