Текст песни Rovin' Gambler (The New Christy Minstrels) с переводом

I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler

Lady fortune’s my trade

I am a rovin' gambler, I’ve gambled all around

Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down

Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down

Got a pretty little gal in New Orleans, her name is Mary Lou

Though I ain’t never seen her in

fourteen years, she promised she’d be true

Hey, poor old Mary Lou

There’s an old maid livin' in Abilene, her name is Paulee Anne

She claims if she ever gets wed’d up, it’s gonna be to a gamblin' man

So long, Paulee Anne

I am a rovin' gambler, I’ve gambled all around

Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down

Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down

Well, I never cheat at gamblin' cuz it makes some people sore

But just in case I got an extra ace and a big long 44

A red hot 44!

Now the preachers say that the gamblin' man is on the road to sin

But every time that I start to quit

That’s when I start to win

Lord, I rake that money in

I am a rovin' gambler, I’ve gambled all around

Wherever I meet with a deck o' cards, I lay my money down

Lay my money down, lord, lay my money down

Lay my money down!!!
