Riverboat Gambler Lyrics
(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)Riverboat gamblerDrinking alone on the prowChasing your Bourbon with Tennessee ginThe big game's about to beginRiverboat gamblerHiding that Ave up your sleeveI can see through all that debonaire styleThe irony bending your smileAnd I won't tip your handI won't do you inI want to stay near youI want you to winRiverboat gamblerYou can defy all the oddsYou can draw diamonds to fill out your flushYou can find someone to trustAnd I won't steal your chipsI won't steal your prideWon't you take me on faithWon't you let me insideRiverboat gamblerUnder our velvet and laceYou're an old vagabond, I'm a poor waifLet's make a place that's safeRiverboat gamblerCome on and let me inside
Carly Simon Riverboat Gambler
