[Verse 1]
I’ve travelled, travelled and I’ve seen
I’ve travelled, travelled and I’ve seen
And I’ve had the blues they call the gambler’s dream

[Verse 2]
Many times, many times I have cried
Many times, many times I have cried
Many times, many times I wished that I could die

[Clarinet solo: Johnny Dodds]

[Verse 3]
Mama told me, father told me too
Mama told me, father told me too
Don’t you let no gambler be the ruin of you
