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
