Gambler ambled down a country lane
Looking for a game of chance
She was twenty-one or two
And she knew what she wanted
And she wanted that gamblin' man
Her parents warned her
Tried to reason with her
She was determined that she wanted Bill
They'd all be offended at the mention still
If they heard this song, which I doubt they will
And my mama couldn't be persuaded
When they pleaded with their daughter
Don't marry that gamblin' man
And my mama couldn't be persuaded
When they pleaded with their daughter
Don't marry that gamblin' man
Mama couldn't be persuaded
When they pleaded with her
No, no nevertheless
And my mama couldn't be persuaded
When they pleaded with their daughter
Don't marry that gamblin' man
