  30 G
  31  I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
  32
  33 Wherever I meet with a deck of cards
  34   C            G
  35 I lay my money down
  36                              (C)   G
  37 (I Lay my money down; Lay my money down.)
  38
  39 I gambled up in Washington, gambled over in Spain
  40 I'm on my way to Frisco town
  41 to knock down my last game
  42 (knock down my last game; knock down my last game)
  43
  44 I had not been in 'Frisco, many more days than three
  45 I fell in love with a pretty little girl
  46 And she fell in love with me
  47 (Fell in love with me; Fell in love with me.)
  48
  49 She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan
  50 She whispered low in her mama's ear
  51 &quot;I love this gamblin' man.&quot;
  52 (&quot;Love this gamelin' man.&quot;; &quot;Love this gamblin' man.&quot;)
  53
  54 &quot;Daughter, Oh! dear daughter, how could you treat me so?
  55 And leave your dear old mother
  56 And with a gambler go?&quot;
  57 (&quot;With a gambler go?&quot;; &quot;With a gambler go?&quot;)
  58
  59 &quot;Mother, Oh dear mother, I'll tell you if I can
  60 If you ever see my face again,
  61 I'll be with the gamblin' man&quot;
  62 (&quot;be with the gamblin' man&quot;; &quot;be with the gamblin' man&quot;)
  63
  64 I left her in 'Frisco, I went up to Maine
  65 then I met with a gamblin' man
  66 and then we got into a poker game
  67 (Got into a poker game; We got into a poker game.)
  68
  69 He put some money in the pot, passed the cards around
  70 I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
  71 So I shot the gambler down
  72 (Shot the gambler down; Shot the gambler down.)
  73
  74 Now I'm down in prison, I got a number for a name
  75 The warden said as he closed the door
  76 You've gambled your last game
  77 (Gambled your last game; Gambled your last game.)
