Moonlight Gambler Lyrics

Moonlight Gambler 

  

 -Artist: Frankie Laine as sung on "Frankie Laine's Greatest Hits" 

 -Columbia CS 8636 

 -Words by Bob Hilliard and Music by Phil Springer 

  

  

 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
