Lyrics

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler Lady Fortunes my trade I am a rovin' gambler I've gambled all around Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down Lord lay my money down Got a pretty little gal in New Orleans Her name is Mary Lou Though I ain't been to see her in fourteen years She promised she'd be true -Whistling Hey, poor old Mary Lou There's an old maid livin' in Abilene Her name is Polly Ann She claims if she ever gets wedded up It's gonna be to a gamblin' man So long Polly Ann I am a rovin' gambler I've gambled all around Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down Lord lay my money down 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 I am a rovin' gambler I've gambled all around Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down Lay my money down Lord lay my money down Lay my money down
