Gambler - Cisco Houston

"Good morning Mister Railroad man. 
What time do your trains roll 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, I pulled my hat down over my eyes, 
And I 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 that 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 I love, 
Run away with another man.
