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 gambler's roll, on a gambler's roll      You know the gambler he rides, rides on a fools train   Tradin' 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
