Moonlight Gambler

"Moonlight Gambler" is a song written by Bob Hilliard and Phil Springer and performed by Frankie Laine featuring Ray Conniff and His Orchestra. It reached No. 3 on the U.S. pop chart and No. 13 on the UK singles chart in 1957.

The single ranked No. 32 on Billboard's Year-End top 50 singles of 1957.

The song begins with a spoken recitation by Laine saying:

"You can gamble for matchsticks,/ You can gamble for gold,/ The stakes may be heavy or small,/ But, if you haven't gambled for love and lost,/ Then you haven't gambled at all". Which is repeated when sung in the bridge section of the song. Laine's version also features a whistler and a clip clopping sound.
