This Train I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around.
Whenever I see a deck of cards I lay my money down,
I lay my money down.

I entered into the city, many more days than three.
Well I fell in love with a pretty little girl and
she fell in love with me.

Chorus:
This train don't turn no gamblers, this train.
This train don't turn no gamblers, this train.
This train don't turn no gamblers,
no crap shootin' no midnight ramblers.
This train don't turn no gamblers, this train.

She took me to her parlor,
cooled me with her fan.
Cried daddy daddy oh daddy dear,
I'm in love with a gambling man.
I'm in love with a gambling man.

(Chorus)

I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around.
Whenever I see a deck of cards I lay my money down,
I lay my money down.
