New Roving Gambler
Written and recorded by Hank Thompson

C
I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around
     F                 C
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards
  F            C
I lay my money down
                    G7           C
I lay my money down lay my money down


I had not been in 'Frisco many more weeks than three
       F                   C
Till I fell in love with a pretty little girl
    F                 C
She fell in love with me
                     G7                C
Fell in love with me fell in love with me


She took me in her parlor she cooled me with a fan
    F                    C
She whispered low in her mother's ear
  F                  C
I love this gambling man
                       G7                 C
Love this gambling man love this gambling man


Oh daughter oh dear daughter how could you treat me so
    F                   C
And leave your dear old mother
    F              C
And with a gambler go
                  G7             C
With a gambler go with a gambler go


Oh mother oh dear mother you know I love you well
        F                             C
But the love I have for this gambling man
   F                C
No human tongue can tell
                         G7                  C
No human tongue can tell no human tongue can tell


I left that gal in 'Frisco and I wound up in Maine
  F                      C
I met up with a gambling man
   F              C
We got in a poker game
                    G7             C
Got in a poker game got in a poker game


He put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around
  F                                   C
I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
     F                 C
So I shot that gambler down
                       G7                C
Shot that gambler down shot that gambler down


Well now I'm down in prison I got a number for my name
    F                 C
The warden said as he locked the door
       F                 C
You've gambled your last game
                       G7                C
Gambled your last game gambled your last game
