The Gambler
guitar chords lyrics
"good morning mister railroad man.
what time do your trains roll by?"
"at nine-sixteen and two-forty-four
and twenty five minutes till five."
"it's nine-sixteen and two-forty-four,
twenty-five minutes till five,
thank you mr. railroad man,
i want to watch your trains roll by."
Standing on a platform,
smoking a cheap cigar
waiting for an old freight-train
that carries an empty car.
Well, i pulled my hat down over my eyes,
and i walked across the track,
and i caught me the end of an old freight-train,
Well, i pulled my hat down over my eyes,
and i walked across the track,
and i caught me the end of an old freight-train,
and i never did come back.
I sat down in a gamblin' game,
and i could not play my hand,
just thinkin' about that woman that i love
run away with another man.
Run away with another man, poor boy
run away with another man,
i was thinking about that woman that i love,
run away with another man.
