john jacob niles – the rovin’ gambler lyrics
i am a rovin’ gambler
i’ve been in many a town
where+e’er i see a pack of cards
i lay my money down
with a cl!ck clack oh and a high johnny ho
i lay my money down
i hadn’t been a packet man
many more weeks that three
when i fell in love with the st. louis girl
and she in love with me
with a cl!ck clack oh and a high johnny ho
and she in love with me
we went in the back parlor
she cooled me with her fan
and she whispered soft in her mother’s ear
“i love my gamblin’ man
with a cl!ck clack oh and a high johnny ho
i love my gamblin’ man.”
“oh daughter dear, dear daughter
how could you do me so
to leaveyou dear old mother+er
and with this gambler go?
with a cl!ck clack oh and a high johnny ho
and with thie gambler go?”
“’tis true i love you dearly
’tis true i love you well
but the love i have for the gamblin’ man
no human tongue can tell
with a cl!ck clack oh and a high johnny ho
no human tongue can tell.”
she picked up her satchel
and she did leave her home
and on the steamer “morning star”
the two of them did roam
with a cl!ck clack oh and a high johnny ho
the two of them did roam
