Rambling, Gambling Willie - The Lonely Heartstring Band[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan[00:00:01]
Come around you rovin' gamblers and a story I will tell[00:00:09]
About the greatest gambler you all should know him well[00:00:12]
His name was will o' conley and he gambled all his life[00:00:15]
He had twenty-seven children yet he never had a wife[00:00:18]
And it's ride willie ride[00:00:21]
Roll willie roll[00:00:24]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:00:25]
He gambled in the white house and in the railroad yards[00:00:29]
Wherever there was people there was willie and his cards[00:00:32]
He had a reputation as the gamblin'est man around[00:00:36]
Wives would keep their husbands home when willie came to town[00:00:39]
And it's ride willie ride[00:00:42]
Roll willie roll[00:00:44]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:00:46]
Sailin' down the mississippi to a town called new orleans[00:01:11]
They're still talkin' about their card game on that jackson river queen[00:01:14]
I've come to win some money gamblin' willie says[00:01:18]
When the game finally ended up the whole damn boat was his[00:01:21]
And it's ride willie ride[00:01:24]
Roll willie roll[00:01:26]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:01:27]
But willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true[00:01:31]
He supported all his children and all their mothers too[00:01:34]
He wore no rings or fancy things like other gamblers wore[00:01:38]
He spread his money far and wide to help the sick and the poor[00:01:42]
And it's ride willie ride[00:01:45]
Roll willie roll[00:01:47]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:01:48]
It was late one evenin' during a poker game[00:02:13]
A man lost all his money he said willie was to blame[00:02:17]
He shot poor willie through the head which was a tragic fate[00:02:20]
When willie's cards fell on the floor they were aces backed with eights[00:02:23]
And it's ride willie ride[00:02:26]
Roll willie roll[00:02:28]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:02:30]
So all you rovin' gamblers wherever you might be[00:02:40]
The moral of this story is very plain to see[00:02:43]
Make your money while you can before you have to stop[00:02:47]
For when you pull that dead man's hand your gamblin' days are up[00:02:50]
And it's ride willie ride[00:02:53]
Roll willie roll[00:02:55]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:02:56]
And it's ride willie ride[00:03:11]
Roll willie roll[00:03:14]
Wherever you are a-gamblin' now nobody really knows[00:03:15]
