Moonlight Gambler:Frankie Laine.
#3 in 1956.
(Capo 2nd fret.)
INTRO:(Spoken, ad lib.)
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.
#1.
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.
#2.
Win or lose, I m a moonlight gambler.
And a winner is what I long to be.
So I ll gam...ble for love just as long as I live,
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me.

You can gamble for match sticks.

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 gamb..led at all.
#4.
So, I ll gamble for love, just as long as I live,
Till the day Lady Luck smiles on me.
They call me the moonlight gambler.
They call me the moonlight gambler.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
