Roving Gambler - Billie Joe Armstrong/Norah Jones

I am a roving gambler

I gamble down in town

Wherever I meet with a deck of cards

I lay my money down

I lay my money down

I lay my money down

I had not been in Washington

Many more weeks than three

In love 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 mama's ear

"I love that gamblin' man

I love that gamblin' man

I love that gamblin' man "

Oh daughter oh dear daughter

How can you treat me so

Leave your dear old mother

And with a gambler go

With a gambler go with a gambler go

My mother oh dear mother you can not understand

If you ever see me a coming back

I'll be with a gambling man

With a gambling man with a gambling man

I left her here in El Paso and

I wound up in Maine

I met up with a 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 the gambler down

Shot the gambler down

Well now I'm in the jailhouse

Got a number for my name

Warden said as he locked the door

You've 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
