Gambler's Roll

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
