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
