Carly Simon - RIVERBOAT GAMBLER lyrics

rate me

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)

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
