Carly Simon Riverbaot Gambler song lyrics

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
