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 gamblers roll…on a gamblers 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 gamblers roll On a gamblers… gambler’s roll
