Frankie Laine — Moonlight Gambler

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
