Hank Thompson - New Rovin' Gambler guitar chord

Hank Thompson

NEW ROVIN' GAMBLER

Capo 2nd fret

(D) I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around

Where-(G) ver I meet with a (D) deck of cards

I (G) lay my money (D) down

(I Lay my money down; (A) Lay my money (D) down.)

I had not been in 'Frisco, many more weeks than three

'Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl

She fell in love with me

(Fell in love with me; Fell in love with me.)

She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan

She whispered low in her mother's ear

"I love this gamblin' man."

("Love this gamblin' man."; "Love this gamblin' man.")

"Oh! daughter, Oh! dear daughter, how could you treat me so?

And leave your dear old mother

And with a gambler go?"

("With a gambler go?"; "With a gambler go?")

"Oh mother, Oh dear mother, you know I love you well

But the love I have for this gamblin' man

"No human tongue can tell."

("No human tongue can tell."; "No human tongue can tell.")

I left that gal in 'Frisco, and I wound up in Maine

I met up with a gamblin' man

We got in a poker game

(Got in a poker game; Got in a poker game.)

He put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around

I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck

So I shot that gambler down

(Shot that gambler down; Shot that gambler down.)

Well, now I'm down in prison, I got a number for my name

The warden said as he locked the door

You've gambled your last game

(Gambled your last game; Gambled your last game.)
