Come around you rovin' gamblers and a story I will tell About the greatest gambler, you all should know him well His name was Will O' Conley and he gambled all his life He's had twenty-seven children, yet he's never had a wifeAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody knowsWell, he gambled in the White House and in the railroad yards Wherever there was people, there was Willie and his cards He had the reputation as the gamblingest man around Wives would keep their husbands home when Willie came to townAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody knowsSailin' down the Mississippi to a town called New Orleans They're still talkin' about their card game on that Jackson River Queen "I've come to win some money," Gamblin' Willie says When the game finally ended up the whole darn boat was hisAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody really knowsUp in the rocky mountains in a town called Cripple Creek There was an all-night poker game, lasted about a week Nine hundred miners had laid their money down When Willie finally left the room, he owned the whole darn townAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody knowsBut 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 He spread his money far and wide to help the sick and the poorAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody knowsWhen 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, he left a diamond flush, Willie didn't even have a pairAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody knowsIt was late one evenin' during a poker game A man lost all his money, he said, "Willie was to blame" He shot poor Willie through the head, which was a tragic fate When Willie's cards fell on the floor, they were aces backed with eightsAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody knowsSo all you ramblin' gamblers, wherever you might be The moral of this story is very plain to see Make your money while you can, before you have to stop For when you pull that dead man's hand, your gamblin' days are upAnd it's ride, Willie, ride Roll, Willie, roll Wherever you are gamblin' now Nobody really knows
