Verse 1
E
Come around you rovin' gamblers
A
E
and a story I will tell
About the greatest gambler
A
E
you all should know and well
His name was Will O' Connolly
A
E
and he gambled all his life
A
He had twenty -seven children
E
yet he's never had a wife
And it's right, Willie, right, roll, roll
A
E
Well, if you're a gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
He gambled in the White House
A
E
and in the railroad yards
Wherever there was people,
there was Willie and his cards
He had the reputation
as the gamblinest man around
A
Wives would keep their husbands
home
B
when Willie came to town
E
And it's ride, Willie, ride, roll, Willie, roll
A
E
Well, you're a gamblin' now,
B
E
nobody really knows
Sailin' down to Mississippi,
to a town called New Orleans
They're still talkin' about that card game
A
E
on that Jackson River, Queen
A
E
I've come to win some money,
A
E
gamblin' Willie says
A
When the game finally ended up,
E
B
F#m
the whole damn boat was his
E
And it's ride Willie, ride, roll
Willie, roll
A
E
Well, he's over gamblin' now,
B
E
nobody really knows
Up in the Rocky Mountains,
in a town called Crippled Creek
There was an all -night poker game,
lasted about a week
Nine hundred miners
A
E
had laid their money down
A
When Willie fi nally left the room,
B
he owned the whole damn town
E
And it's ride, Willie, ride, roll, Willie, roll
A
E
Well, you're a gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
But Willie had a heart of gold,
and this I know is true
He supported all his children
and all their mothers, too
He wore no rings or fancy things
like other gamblers wore
A
He spread his money far and wide
B
to help the sick and the poor
E
And it's right, Willie, right,
for old Willie O 'Rourke
Well, you're a gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
When you played your cards with Willie,
you never really knew
Whether he was bluffin'
or whether he was true
He won a fortune
from a man who folded in his chair
The man, left a diamond flush,
B
Willie didn't even have a pad
E
Man, that's right, Willie, right,
roll, Willie, roll
A
E
Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
It was late one evening,
during a poker game
A man lost all his money,
said Willie was to blame
He shot poor Willie through the head,
which was a tragic fate
And Willie's cards fell on the floor,
B
they were aces backed with eights
E
And it's ride Willie, ride, roll
Willie, roll
Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,
nobody really knows
So all you rovin' gamblers,
wherever you might be
D#
E
The moral of the story is very plain to see
D#
Make your money while you can,
before you have to stop
E
D#
E
For when you pull that dead man's hand,
B
your gamblin' days are up
E
D#
E
And it's ride, Willie, ride,
roll, Willie, roll
D#
Wherever you're a -gamblin' now,
nobody really knows.
