81 years of gambling. It was a good game.

The following Kenny Rogers song was released in 1969, during the height of the Vietnam War. Powerful lyrics... still touches me all these years later. Written by Mel Tillis.

I always liked this version. Mostly because he looks like he's trying hard not to break out laughing for about the last minute of the song!

I don't think I'd ever realized the gambler dies in the end of the song. Until I saw this video that is. I would try learning this song if I found good sheet music for it; its a fun one because the key changes a couple times.
