Lyrics
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' 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 gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' 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 gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well she took me in her parlor
Cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear
"I love that gamblin' man"
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well Momma, my dear Momma you know I love you well
But the love I hold for the gamblin' man
No human tongue could tell
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' 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 gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
Well I would not marry a farmer
He's always in the rain
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man with a big old watch and chain
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
Well I would not marry no banjo man
He's going just to pray
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man with a big old watch and chain
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man
I hear that train a-coming
It's rolling around the curve
It's whistling and a-blowing
Straining every nerve
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man
