Norah Jones, Billie Joe Armstrong - Roving Gambler lyrics

I am a roving gambler, I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
Lay my money down lay my money down
Lay my money down

I had not been in Washington
Many more weeks than three
I met up with a pretty little girl
She fell in love with me
She fell in love with me
Fell in love with me

She took me in her parlor
She cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her mother's ears
"I love that gambling man
Love that gambling man
Love that gambling man"

Oh daughter, oh dear daughter
How can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old mother
And with that gambler go
With that gambler go with that gambler go

My mother, oh dear mother
You cannot understand
If you ever see me coming back
I'll be with the gambling man
With that gambling man
With that gambling man

I left her here in El Paso
And I wound up in Maine
I met up with the gambling man
Got in a poker game got in a poker game
Got in a poker game

We put our money in the pot
And dealt the cards around
I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
Shot that gambler down
Shot that gambler down
Shot that gambler down

Well, now I'm in the jailhouse
Got a number for my name
Warden said as he locked the door
"You gambled your last game
Gambled your last game
Gambled your last game"

I am a roving gambler, I gambled all around
Whenever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down lay my money down
Lay my money down
