A fantastic early American song by Jeff Calhoun, otherwise known as Vernon Dalhart. This song has also been recorded by many other artists including Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Thompson, Kelly Harrell, The Country Gentlemen, Simon & Garfunkel, and the Everly Brothers to name a few. Here are the lyrics for this wonderful tune. Enjoy! I am a roving gambler I've gambled all around Whenever I need with the deck of cards I lay my money down I've gambled down in Washington I've gambled over in Spain I'm on my way to Tennessee to get down my last game I had not been in Washington many more weeks than three When I fell in love with a pretty little maid who she in love with me She took me in her parlor she cooled me with her fan She whispered low in mother's ear I love that gambling man [ guitar ] Oh daughter oh dear daughter how could you treat me so To leave your dear old mother and with the gambler go Oh mother my dear mother you know I love you well But the love I have for the gambling man no human tongue can tell No human tongue can tell no human tongue can tell [ guitar ] I hear a train a coming a coming round the curve A whistlin' and a blowin' and strainin' every nerve Oh mother oh dear mother I'll tell you if I can If you ever see me coming back I'll be with that gambling man

One of the best songs ever recorded by the one and only Vernon Dalhart. I had posted this one before, but the speed was way too fast so I had deleted it. Someone asked for it again, so here is the original version I posted. I also found yet another version on the Victor scroll label that I will get on here tomorrow. I've got a lot of his records now, and I plan to post them all. Enjoy! Here's some info on Mr. Dalhart: Dalhart was born Marion Try Slaughter in Marion County, Jefferson, Texas ...
