Chris Ledoux - Riverboat Gambler lyrics

I cut my teeth on a poker chip my daddy left layin' behind The said he was a dealin' from the bottom but my mama said they were lyin' So I never stay in one place long I'm just a natural born rambler My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler So don't kiss my cheek and look at me with stayin' in your eyes For marriage is like shootin' against a pair of loaded dice You better throw your hand in for you just cant hold this rambler My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler I'll say you're the closest thing to love I've ever known But without the feel of the paddle wheel I'd never be at home Well I must go for I just heard the river call this rambler My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler So don't kiss my cheek... My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl and my daddy was a riverboat gambler
