Riverboat Gambler
Riverboat gambler Drinking alone on the prow Chasing your bourbon with Tennessee gin The big game's about to begin Riverboat gambler Hiding that ace up your sleeve I can see through all that debonair style The irony bending your smile I won't do you in And I won't tip your hand I want you to win I want to stay near you You can defy all the odds Riverboat gambler You can find someone to trust You can draw diamonds to fill out your flush And I won't steal your chips I won't steal your pride Won't you take me on faith Won't you let me inside Riverboat gambler Under our velvet and lace You're an old vagabond, I'm a poor waif Let's make a place that's safe Riverboat gambler Come on and let me inside |
