But if you haven't gambled for love and lost,
Moonlight Gambler
Words by Bob Hilliard and Music by Phil Springer
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.
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
Thanks for dropping by; hope you enjoyed this "blast from the past"; Frankie hit it big with this one in 1956.
