Gambler's Roll

The dealer sits alone in the dark
A cigarette shines on his very last card
Everything he had - he watched it come and go
On a Gambler's roll

A cold wind blows a young girl's world apart
She bet it all on the jack of hearts
She gained her freedom - but she lost her soul
On a gambler's roll

The Gambler he rides - rides on a fool's train
Trading silver for gold
But his luck will change - time takes it toll
On a gambler's roll

The dealer knows - it's just about his last game
Not even she knows the sorrow and the shame
As the .45 deals a fatal blow
On a gambler's roll

The Gambler he rides - rides on a fool's train
Trading silver for gold
But his luck will change - time takes it toll
On a gambler's roll
