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

{section: 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
