Written By Warren Zevon
c. Zevon MusicBMI (1976)
Gambler ambled down a country lane
Looking for a game of chance
She was twenty-one or two
And she knew what she wanted
And she wanted that gamblin` man
Her parents warned her
Tried to reason with her
She was determined that she wanted Bill
They`d all be offended at the mention still
If they heard this song, which I doubt they will
And my mama couldn`t be persuaded
When they pleaded with their daughter
don`t marry that gamblin` man
Mama couldn`t be persuaded
When they pleaded with their daughter
don`t marry that gamblin` man
Mama couldn`t be persuaded
When they pleaded with her
No, no nevertheless
I said my mama couldn`t be persuaded
when they pleaded with her, Send " Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse" Ringtone to your Cell
