Gamblers Bride (Joe Ely) Hello, my babe. I'm back to stay You're sure wearing fine pretty things. But where is your ring, your ring and chain I gave you last summer in the fallin' rain? "Your ring," she said, "You've been gone so long. I gave your ring away I met a man, a gamblin' man. Said he would buy me the Milky Way." Away, Away. I've been away. I've been so many miles. Where is the smile that once lit your face? It seems a tear has taken is place "My smile," she sighed, with a look a little wild, "My smile it is possessed. I met a man, a gamblin' man. Said he would buy me happiness." I never, I never You know I never I never had much to give But I gave you my heart Now where is your heart? It was all that I had from the very start. "My heart," she cried, " It has been bought." She looked at me with fear. "I married that man, that gamblin' man Who'd shoot you if he found you here."
