Gambler's Roll Lyrics


The dealer sits alone in the dark
Cigarette shines on his very last card
Everything he had, watched it come and go
On a gambler's roll
Cold wind blows a young girl's world apart
She bet it all, she bet it all on the jack of hearts
Gained her freedom but lost her soul
On a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll
You know the gambler - he rides, rides on a fools' train
Ah, tradin' silver for gold
Oh, but his luck will change; time takes it's toll
On a gambler's roll
The dealer knows it's just about his last game
Not even she knows all the sorrow and pain
As the forty-five deals the fatal blow

On a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll
You know the gambler - he rides, rides on a fools' train
Tradin' silver for gold
Ah, but his luck will change; time takes it's toll
On a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll
On a gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll
On a gambler's, gambler's roll

The Allman Brothers Band, formed in 1969 in Macon, Georgia blended strains of southern rock music - Blues, R&B, Country, Jazz, and Gospel - into a flexible, jam-oriented style of Rock and Roll that reflected the emergence of the "New South" and set the style for Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and countless other Southern rockers. Oddly - or eerily, some would say - the band's unusual string of untimely deaths has been repeated in other Southern-rock bands.
