- Roving Gambler Lyrics / with translationsI am a roving gambler
Gamble all around
Whenever I need a deck of cards
I lay my money down
I've gambled down in Cape Town
Played cards in Bloemfontein
But I'm going back to Kimberley
To gamble my last game
To gamble my last game
I had been in Kimberley
Many more days than three
I fell in love with a purdy little girl
She fell in love with me
She took me in her parlor
Cooled me with a fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love this gamblin' man
I love this gamblin' man
Tonight I'll go out on the town
Hoping lady luck will bring
A winning hand to this gamblin' man
Then I'll buy a diamond ring
The gamblers took their places
The cards were dealt around
I caught him dealin' from the bottom of the deck
And I shot that gambler down
Here I am in prison
Draggin' a ball and chain
I can still hear the old judge say
You've gambled your last game
You've gambled your last game
Gamble all around
Whenever I need a deck of cards
I lay my money down
I've gambled down in Cape Town
Played cards in Bloemfontein
But I'm going back to Kimberley
To gamble my last game
To gamble my last game
I had been in Kimberley
Many more days than three
I fell in love with a purdy little girl
She fell in love with me
She took me in her parlor
Cooled me with a fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love this gamblin' man
Tonight I'll go out on the town
Hoping lady luck will bring
A winning hand to this gamblin' man
Then I'll buy a diamond ring
The gamblers took their places
The cards were dealt around
I caught him dealin' from the bottom of the deck
And I shot that gambler down
Here I am in prison
Draggin' a ball and chain
I can still hear the old judge say
You've gambled your last game
You've gambled your last game
