Moonlight Gambler lyrics

You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold

The stakes may be heavy or small

But if you haven't gambled for love and lost

You haven't gambled at all

So they call me a moonlight gambler

Well, I've gambled for love and lost

When I gamble for love but it isn't in the cards

Oh, what heartaches it can cost me

Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler

And a winner is what I long to be

So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live

Till the day Lady Luck smiles down on me

Well, you can gamble for match sticks

You can gamble for gold

Stakes may be heavy or small

But if you haven't gambled for love and lost

Well, then you haven't gambled at all

No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight

Then you haven't gambled at all

So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live

Till the day Lady Luck smiles down on me

So they call me the moonlight gambler

Yes, they call me the moonlight gambler
