| 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 |
