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 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
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
Well, I won't steal your pride
Won't you take me on faith
Won't you let me inside
Let me inside
Riverboat gambler
Under all 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
Let me inside
