You are thinking of Rovin' Gambler, correct?

I am a rovin gambler
I gamble all around
Wherever I see a deck of cards, I lay my money down
I've gabmled down in Mexico and I've gambvled up in Maine
I'm going back to Georgia and gamble my last game....


I sing the Hedy West version which I can't seem to find either. I thought I posted a version of this tune in a thread that had a bunch of the derivatives but what the hell is an original folk song anyway?
