[00:00.00]The Roving Gambler - John Jacob Niles
[00:00.41]I am a roving gambler
[00:05.72]I've been in many a town
[00:09.71]Where-e'er I see a pack of cards
[00:15.32]I lay my money down
[00:19.30]I lay my money down
[00:24.04]I hadn't been a packet man
[00:28.79]Many more weeks that three
[00:34.12]When I fell in love with the St. Louis girl
[00:38.87]And she in love with me
[00:42.67]And she in love with me
[00:47.51]We went in the ba-back parlor
[00:52.35]She cooled me with her fan
[00:57.77]She whispered soft in her mother's ear
[01:02.53]I love my gamblin' man
[01:06.58]I love my gamblin' man
[01:11.54]Oh daughter dear dear daughter
[01:16.91]How could you do me so
[01:21.37]To leave your dear old mother-er
[01:26.75]And with this gambler go
[01:30.86]And with this gambler go
[01:36.10]'Tis true I love you dearly
[01:39.94]'Tis true I love you well
[01:44.42]But the love I have for the gamblin' man
[01:49.62]No human tongue can tell
[01:53.48]No human tongue can tell
[01:57.61]She picked up her satchel
[02:01.60]And she did leave her home
[02:07.00]And on the steamer morning star
[02:12.47]The two of them did roam
[02:16.52]The two of them did roam
