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.

They call   me a moonl   ight gambler

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 moonl   ight gambler

And a winner is what I long to be

So I    ‘ll gam – ble f    or   love just as l   ong    as     I    live

Till     the    day     Lady Luck smiles on me

Well, you can gam – ble for match sticks

You c    an g   am – ble f    or g   old

The stakes may be heavy     or small

But if you haven’t gam – bled for love and l    ost

Then y     ou haven’t gam – bled    at a   ll

No, if you haven’t gam – bled f     or l   ove in the moonlight

Then you haven’t gam – bled at all

So I    ‘ll gam – ble f    or   love just as    long     as     I     live

Till     the day Lady L    uck smiles on me

They call   me the moon   light gambler

They call   me the moonl   ight gambler
