You can gamble for matchsticks
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
They call me the
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 matchsticks
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
