Verse
I am a roving gambler, gambled all around
Ever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lay my money down
Verse
I had not been in 'Frisco many more weeks than three
I met up with a pretty little girl
She fell in love with me
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
Verse
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with a fan
Whispered low in her mother's ear
Love this gambling man
Love this gambling man, love this gambling man
Verse
Oh daughter oh dear daughter how can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old mother
And with the gambler go
With the gambler go, with the gambler go
Verse
My mother, oh dear mother I tell you if I can
If you ever see me coming back
I'll be with a gambling man
With the gambling man, with the gambling man
Verse
I left her in 'Frisco I wound up in Maine
I met up with a gambling man
I got in a poker game
Got in a poker game, got in a poker game
Verse
He put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around
Saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
So I shot the gambler down
Shot the gambler down, shot the gambler down
Verse
Now I'm down in prison 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
