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 ave up your sleeve
i can see through all that debonaire style
the irony bending your smile
And i won't tip your hand
i won't do you in
i want to stay near you
i want you to win
Riverboat gambler
you can defy all the odds
you can draw diamonds to fill out your flush
you can find someone to trust
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
