[Verse 1]
G
As a boy, I'd sneak to town to see the rounders
C
And I'd watch as they lay their money down
G
Fascination filled my head by the hands as can be read
C
"It's all in their eyes, it's plain to see."
G
He said to me

[Verse 2]
G
Well the way of a rounder's life, it overtook me
C
With desire that burned like fire within my soul
G
So I set to leave my home, my mama cried from deep down low
C
"It's a devil's game you long to play, nothin' comes free."
G
She said to me
[Break]
G G G C G G G G C G
[Verse 3]
G
In the town I searched and found the nearest barroom
C
And I prayed as they dealt those cards around
G
For one hand that I could win and have enough to play again
C
This last request is all I ask, dear Lord, help me
G
I pray to thee
[Break]

[Verse 4]
G
Those years are gone, for now I've grown and I'm much older
C
I settled down with a wife to raise a family
G
But she can see it in my eyes, the rounder's spirit never dies
C
I leave tonight when she sleeps tight so tenderly
G
