SPOKEN: 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 moonlight
gambler
I've gambled for love and lost
When I gamble for love and 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 at
me

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
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 at
me

They call me the moonlight gambler
They call me the moonlight
gambler
