RAMBLING GAMBLING WILLIE - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Come around you roving gamblers and a story I will tell[00:00:05]
About the greatest gambler you all should know him well[00:00:09]
His name was will o conley and he gambled all his life[00:00:13]
He had twenty seven children yet he never had a wife[00:00:17]
And it's ride willie ride[00:00:21]
Roll willie roll[00:00:24]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:00:26]
He gambled in the white house and in the railroad yards[00:00:31]
Wherever there was people there was willie and his cards[00:00:35]
He had the reputation as the gamblingest man around[00:00:41]
Wives would keep their husbands home when willie came to town[00:00:45]
And it's ride willie ride[00:00:49]
Roll willie roll[00:00:51]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:00:53]
Sailing down the mississippi to a town called new orleans[00:00:58]
They're still talking about their card game on that jackson river queen[00:01:02]
I've come to win some money gambling willie says[00:01:06]
When the game finally ended up the whole damn boat was his[00:01:11]
And it's ride willie ride[00:01:15]
Roll willie roll[00:01:17]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:01:19]
Up in the rocky mountains in a town called cripple creek[00:01:24]
There was an all night poker game lasted about a week[00:01:29]
Nine hundred miners had laid their money down[00:01:33]
When willie finally left the room he owned the whole damn town[00:01:37]
And it's ride willie ride[00:01:41]
Roll willie roll[00:01:43]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:01:45]
But willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true[00:01:50]
He supported all his children and all their mothers too[00:01:54]
He wore no rings or fancy things like other gamblers wore[00:01:58]
He spread his money far and wide to help the sick and the poor[00:02:02]
And it's ride willie ride[00:02:06]
Roll willie roll[00:02:08]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:02:11]
When you played your cards with willie you never really knew[00:02:17]
Whether he was bluffing or whether he was true[00:02:21]
He won a fortune from a man who folded in his chair[00:02:25]
The man he left a diamond flush willie didn't even have a pair[00:02:29]
And it's ride willie ride[00:02:32]
Roll willie roll[00:02:35]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:02:37]
It was late one evening during a poker game[00:02:43]
A man lost all his money he said willie was to blame[00:02:46]
He shot poor willie through the head which was a tragic fate[00:02:51]
When willie's cards fell on the floor they were aces backed with eights[00:02:55]
And it's ride willie ride[00:02:58]
Roll willie roll[00:03:01]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:03:03]
So all you roving gamblers wherever you might be[00:03:09]
The moral of the story is very plain to see[00:03:13]
Make your money while you can before you have to stop[00:03:18]
For when you pull that dead man's hand your gambling days are up[00:03:22]
And it's ride willie ride[00:03:25]
Roll willie roll[00:03:28]
Wherever you are a gambling now nobody really knows[00:03:30]
