Moonlight Gambler lyrics

Song information

Artist: Frankie Laine

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
