Well I am a rambling gambling man I gamble down in town
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
Boys lay my money down
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
And I gamble when I can
Now if you want to gamble your luck you want to try
Just pass the queens and check the kings and bet your aces high
Boys bet your aces high
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
And I gamble when I can
Well I've gambled round in Vegas town with money in my jeans
But I lost my money where I won my honey way down in New Orleans
Way down in New Orleans
She took me in her parlor and cooled me with her fan
And she swore I was the prettiest thing in the shape of mortal man
In the shape of mortal man
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
And I gamble when I can
My daughter my dear daughter how can you leave me so?
And leave your dear old mama with this gambler go
And with this gambler go
Well deal around the cards and give me just five cards
I'll show you rambling gambling men a lover's hand of hearts
Well A lover's hand of hearts
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
And I gamble when I can
Well I hear the train a-coming she's blowing down the line
You can bet your stack when we come back we'll beat three of a kind
We'll beat three of a kind
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a rambling gambling man
I'm a  rambler I'm a gambler
And I gamble when I can
I'm a rambling gambling man
