 The dealer sits alone in the dark

 Cigarette shines on his very last card

 Everything he had... watched it come and go

 On a gambler's roll

 

 Cold wind blows a young girl's world apart

 She bet it all  she bet it all on the jack of hearts

 Gained her freedom   but lost her soul

 On a gambler's roll   on a gambler's roll

 

 You know the gambler he rides...	rides on a fools train

 Ah tradin' silver for gold

 Oh but his luck will change... time takes it's toll

 On a gambler's roll

 

 The dealer knows... it's just about his last game

 Not even she knows  all the sorrow and pain

 As the forty-five	deals the fatal blow

 On a gamblers roll...on a gamblers roll

 

 You know the gambler he rides...  rides on a fools train

 Tradin' silver for gold

 Ah but his luck will change... time takes it's toll

 On a gambler's roll... on a gambler's roll

 On a gambler's roll... on a gamblers roll

 On a gamblers... gambler's roll
