Rovin’ Gambler

Randy Sparks

[Intro]
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
Lady fortune's my trade

[Chorus]
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, Lord
Lay my money down

[Verse 1]
Got a pretty little gal in New Orleans, her name is Mary Lou
Though I ain't been to seen her in a-fourteen years, she promised she'd be true
Hey, poor old Mary Lou
There's an old maid livin' in Abilene, her name is Paulee Anne
She claims if she ever gets wed'd up, it's gonna be to a gamblin' man
So long, Paulee Anne

[Chorus]
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, Lord
Lay my money down

[Break]
Yeah, Larry, pick at it
Pick your little heart out

[Verse 3]
Well, I never cheat at gamblin' cause it makes some people sore
But just in case I got an extra ace and a big long forty-four, yeah
A red hot forty-four
Now, the preacher says that a gamblin' man is walkin' the road of sin
But every time that I start to quit, that's when I start to win
Lord, I rake that money in

[Chorus]
I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down
Lay my money down, Lord
Lay my money down

[Outro]
Lay my money down!
