Riverboat Gambler lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Riverboat Gambler lyrics (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 song lyrics
