The Gambler" Good morning Mister Railroad man. What time do your trains toll by?"" At nine-sixteen and two-forty-four And twenty five minutes till five."" It's nine-sixteen and two-forty-four, Twenty-five minutes till five, Thank you Mr. Railroad man,I want to watch your trains roll by." Standing on a platform, Smoking a cheap cigar Waiting for an old freight-train That carries an empty car. Well, l pulled my hat down over my eyes, And l walked across the track, And I caught me the end of an old freight-train, And I never did come back.I sat down in a gamblin' game, And I could not play my hand, Just thinkin' about that woman I love Run away with another man. Run away with another man, poor boy Run away with another man,I was thinking about that woman that l love, Run away with another man. Note: a sort of montage of pieces of Poor By and Danville Girl RG Recorded by Cisco Houston. Also, I think, Woody Guthriefilename [ GAMBLRRG===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
