Gamblin' Man lyrics - The Avett Brothers

I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man

Well, I gambled up in Washington
I gambled up in Maine
I'm on my way to Georgia
To knock down my last game

I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man

Well, I had not been in Washington
Many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she fell in love with me

I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man

Well, she [?] in her parlour
Cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear
"I love that gamblin' man"

I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man, man, man
I'm a gamblin' man

Well, Momma, my dear Momma
You know I love you well
But the love I hold for the gamblin' man
No human tongue could tell

He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man

Well, Daughter, my dear Daughter
How can you treat me so?
Leave your dear old momma
And with that gambler go

He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man

Well, I would not marry a farmer
He's always in the rain
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man
With a big old watch and chain

He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man

Well, I would not marry no banjo man
He's going just to pray
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man
With a big old watch and chain

He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man, man, man
He's a gamblin' man

I hear that train a-coming
It's rolling around the curve
It's whistling and a-blowing
Straining every nerve

Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man, man, man
Gamblin' man
