Rambling Gambling Willie - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Come around you roving[00:00:05]
Gamblers and a story I will tell[00:00:06]
About the greatest gambler [00:00:09]
You all should know him well[00:00:10]
His name was Will O' Conley[00:00:13]
And he gambled all his life[00:00:15]
He's had twenty-seven children [00:00:17]
Yet he's never had a wife[00:00:19]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:00:21]
Roll Willie roll[00:00:24]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:00:26]
Nobody knows[00:00:28]
Well he gambled in the[00:00:33]
White House and in the railroad yards[00:00:34]
Wherever there was people [00:00:37]
There was Willie and his cards[00:00:39]
He had the reputation[00:00:41]
As the gamblingest man around[00:00:43]
Wives would keep their husbands home[00:00:46]
When Willie came to town[00:00:48]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:00:49]
Roll Willie roll[00:00:52]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:00:54]
Nobody knows[00:00:56]
Sailing down the Mississippi to a town[00:01:01]
Called New Orleans[00:01:03]
They're still talking about their card[00:01:04]
Game on that Jackson River Queen[00:01:06]
"I've come to win some money " Gambling Willie says[00:01:09]
When the game finally ended up[00:01:13]
The whole darn boat was his[00:01:15]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:01:17]
Roll Willie roll[00:01:19]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:01:21]
Nobody really knows[00:01:23]
Up in the rocky mountains in a town[00:01:28]
Called Cripple Creek[00:01:31]
There was an all-night poker game [00:01:32]
Lasted about a week[00:01:34]
Nine hundred miners had laid their money down[00:01:36]
When Willie finally left the room [00:01:40]
He owned the whole darn town[00:01:42]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:01:44]
Roll Willie roll[00:01:46]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:01:48]
Nobody knows[00:01:50]
But Willie had a heart of gold and[00:02:18]
This I know is true[00:02:20]
He supported all his children and[00:02:21]
All their mothers too[00:02:23]
He wore no rings or fancy things[00:02:25]
Like other gamblers wore[00:02:27]
He spread his money far and wide to[00:02:29]
Help the sick and the poor[00:02:31]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:02:33]
Roll Willie roll[00:02:36]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:02:37]
Nobody knows[00:02:39]
When you played your cards with Willie [00:02:45]
You never really knew[00:02:47]
Whether he was bluffing or whether he was true[00:02:49]
He won a fortune from a man[00:02:53]
Who folded in his chair[00:02:55]
The man he left a diamond flush [00:02:57]
Willie didn't even have a pair[00:02:59]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:03:01]
Roll Willie roll[00:03:03]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:03:05]
Nobody knows[00:03:07]
It was late one evening during a poker game[00:03:12]
A man lost all his money he said [00:03:16]
"Willie was to blame"[00:03:18]
He shot poor Willie through the head [00:03:20]
Which was a tragic fate[00:03:22]
When Willie's cards fell on the floor [00:03:24]
They were aces backed with eights[00:03:26]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:03:28]
Roll Willie roll[00:03:30]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:03:32]
Nobody knows[00:03:34]
So all you rambling gamblers [00:03:39]
Wherever you might be[00:03:41]
The moral of this story is very plain to see[00:03:43]
Make your money while you can [00:03:47]
Before you have to stop[00:03:49]
For when you pull that dead man's hand [00:03:51]
Your gambling days are up[00:03:53]
And it's ride Willie ride[00:03:55]
Roll Willie roll[00:03:57]
Wherever you are gambling now[00:03:59]
Nobody really knows[00:04:01]
