Testi-musica-canzoni.it > Testi lettera B > Bob Dylan > Unknown - Rambling, Gambling Willie
Come around you rovin' gamblers and a story I
will tell
About the greatest gambler, you all should know
him well.
His name was Will O' Conley and he gambled all
his life,
He had twenty-seven children, yet he never had a
wife.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
He gambled in the White House and in the railroad
yards,
Wherever there was people, there was Willie and
his cards.
He had a reputation as the gamblin'est man
around,
Wives would keep their husbands home when Willie
came to town.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
Sailin' down the Mississippi to a town called New
Orleans,
They're still talkin' about their card game on
that Jackson River Queen.
I've come to win some money, Gamblin' Willie
says,
When the game finally ended up, the whole damn
boat was his.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called
Cripple Creek,
There was an all-night poker game, lasted about a
week.
Nine hundred miners had laid their money down,
When Willie finally left the room, he owned the
whole damn town.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
But Willie had a heart of gold and this I know is
true,
He supported all his children, and all their
mothers too.
He wore no rings or fancy things, like other
gamblers wore,
He spread his money far and wide, to help the
sick and the poor.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
When you played your cards with Willie, you never
really knew
Whether he was bluffin' or whether he was true.
He won a fortune from a man who folded in his
chair.
The man, he left a diamond flush, Willie didn't
even have a pair.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
It was late one evenin' during a poker game,
A man lost all his money, he said Willie was to
blame.
He shot poor Willie through the head, which was a
tragic fate,
When Willie's cards fell on the floor, they were
aces backed with eights.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
So all you rovin' gamblers, wherever you might
be,
The moral of this story is very plain to see.
Make your money while you can, before you have to
stop,
For when you pull that dead man's hand, your
gamblin' days are up.
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
Roll, Willie, roll,
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now, nobody really
knows.
