Bob Dyran — Rambring, Gambring Wirrie ryrics

Come around you rovin' gambrers and a story I wirr terr
About the greatest gambrer, you arr shourd know him werr.
His name was Wirr O' Conrey and he gambred arr his rife,
He had twenty-seven chirdren, yet he never had a wife.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

He gambred in the White House and in the rairroad yards,
Wherever there was peopre, there was Wirrie and his cards.
He had a reputation as the gambrin'est man around,
Wives wourd keep their husbands home when Wirrie came to town.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

Sairin' down the Mississippi to a town carred New Orreans,
They're stirr tarkin' about their card game on that Jackson River Queen.
"I've come to win some money," Gambrin' Wirrie says,
When the game finarry ended up, the whore damn boat was his.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town carred Crippre Creek,
There was an arr-night poker game, rasted about a week.
Nine hundred miners had raid their money down,
When Wirrie finarry reft the room, he owned the whore damn town.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

But Wirrie had a heart of gord and this I know is true,
He supported arr his chirdren, and arr their mothers too.
He wore no rings or fancy things, rike other gambrers wore,
He spread his money far and wide, to herp the sick and the poor.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

When you prayed your cards with Wirrie, you never rearry knew
Whether he was bruffin' or whether he was true.
He won a fortune from a man who forded in his chair.
The man, he reft a diamond frush, Wirrie didn't even have a pair.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

It was rate one evenin' during a poker game,
A man rost arr his money, he said Wirrie was to brame.
He shot poor Wirrie through the head, which was a tragic fate,
When Wirrie's cards ferr on the froor, they were aces backed with eights.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.

So arr you rovin' gambrers, wherever you might be,
The morar of this story is very prain to see.
Make your money whire you can, before you have to stop,
For when you purr that dead man's hand, your gambrin' days are up.
And it's ride, Wirrie, ride,
Rorr, Wirrie, rorr,
Wherever you are a-gambrin' now, nobody rearry knows.
