St. John The Gambler - Townes Van Zandt[00:00:00]

When she had twenty years[00:00:06]

She turned to her mother[00:00:10]

Saying Mother I know that you'll grieve[00:00:13]

But I've given my soul to St John the gambler[00:00:20]

Tomorrow comes time to leave[00:00:26]

For the hills cannot hold back[00:00:33]

My sorrow forever[00:00:36]

And dead men lay deep 'round the door[00:00:40]

The only salvation thats mine for the asking[00:00:46]

So mother think on me no more[00:00:53]

Winter held high round the mountains breast[00:01:00]

And the cold of a thousand snows[00:01:06]

Lay heaped upon the forests leaf[00:01:13]

But she dressed in calico[00:01:19]

For a gambler likes his women fancy[00:01:26]

Fancy she would be[00:01:33]

And the fire of her longing[00:01:39]

Would keep way the cold[00:01:42]

And her dress was a sight to see[00:01:46]

But the road was long beneath the feet[00:01:52]

She followed her frozen breath[00:01:59]

In search of a certain St John the gambler[00:02:06]

Stumbling to her death[00:02:12]

She heard his laughter[00:02:19]

Right down from the mountains[00:02:22]

And danced with her mothers tears[00:02:26]

To a funeral drawn a calico[00:02:32]

'Neath the cross of twenty years[00:02:39]

To a funeral drawn a calico[00:02:46]

'Neath the cross of twenty years[00:02:52]
