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 trading 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 gambler's roll on a gambler's roll

You know the gambler he rides rides on a fools train

Trading silver for gold

Oh 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 oh

On a gambler's gambler's roll
