THIRD VERSE:
The dealer knows it's just about his last game
not even she knows all the sorrow and the pain
as the fourtyfive deals a fiddle blow
on a gamblers roll on a gamblers roll
REFRAIN:
You know the gambler he rides
rides on a fools train
train..... silver.......alone
all is what will change
time takes it's toll
on a gamblers roll
on a gamblers roll
on a gamblers roll
on a gamblers roll
