Roving Gambler Songtext
von Jim Reeves

I am a roving gambler
Gamble all around
Whenever I need a deck of cards
I lay my money down

I have gambled down in Cape Town
Played cards in Blue Pertain
But I′m going back to Kimberly
To gamble my last game, to gamble my last game

I had't been in Kimberly
Many more days than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
She fell in love with me


She took me in her parlor
Cooled me with a fan
She whispered low in mother′s ear
I love this gambling man, I love this gambling man

Tonight I'll go out on the town
Hoping Lady Luck will bring
A winning hand to this gamblin' man
Then I′ll buy a diamond ring

The gamblers took their places
The cards were dealt around
I caught him dealin′ from the bottom of the deck
And I shot that gambler down

Here I am in Drisdon
Dragging a ball and chain
I can still hear the old judge say
"You've gambled your last game, gambled your last game"
