1)

Bet me your last nickel that the neon shines tonight

Bet me on a night like this I will treat you right

Now don't tell me your troubles it just ain't worth the time

Come here close beside me bet me you'll be mine

2)

Now Leroy was a gambler he sang alto in the choir

Took a fall in Acuna Town set his heart on fire

So don't tell me your troubles it just ain't worth the time

Come here close beside me bet me you'll be mine

3)

If you got a nickel or a castle on a hill

Couldn't buy no sparrow song or one from a whippoorwill

So don't tell me your troubles just ain't worth the time

Come here close beside me bet me you'll be mine
