I remember Gamble Rogers he was a gentleman with a guitar.
He's gone on a little further now, a little deeper in the stars
He went down into the water, to help to save a drowning man.
And he left this world, holding out his hand.
He was a master at the microphone, had a subtle wisdom with a Southern tone
Mississippi John and Agememnon Jones, he had that magic in his hands.
He played the old songs and they still ring true, he was a poet and philosopher too.
He said life is just what happens to you while your making other plans.
I remember Gamble Rogers he was a gentleman with a guitar.
He's gone on a little further now, a little deeper in the stars
He went down into the water, to help to save a drowning man.
And he left this world, holding out his hand.
He had the gift of innocence and a fondness for the key of "E"
He always had that air of thankful dignity.
From the Tradewinds to the Troubador, he was a celebrated raconteur
Left 'em laughing by the back stage door, left 'em cryin' out for more.
I remember Gamble Rogers he was a gentleman with a guitar.
He's gone on a little further now, a little deeper in the stars
He went down into the water, to help to save a drowning man.
And he left this world, holding out his hand.
