Marguerite And The Gambler Lyrics - Stories From The Steeples - Mary Black

See the man in the picture with the falcon on his glove 

A famous gambler, they say he never knew defeat 

Lucky at cards, oh he was lucky in love 

He gave his heart to the lovely Marguerite 

See the woman beside him whispering in his ear 

She was a famous beauty with men falling at her feet 

Her father was the richest man in the town of Belvedere 

Where the Gambler met the lovely Marguerite 

The day when the handsome gambling man 

Came through that town 

They met by chance at the corner of the street 

The scene was set for the tragedy 

It was love at first sight 

For the Gambler and the lovely Marguerite

Their passion was a fire that could not be contained 

And when they made love oh how their hearts did beat 

And from that moment the whole world would be forever changed 

For the Gambler and the lovely Marguerite 

When her father heard the news he was like a man possessed 

In a cold fit of fury, hatred and despair 

No good for nothin' gambler was goin' to steal his daughter's heart 

He hired three men to put an end to the affair! 

The Gambler had a room upstairs in a cheap hotel 

The men lay in wait in an alley off the street 

As the lovers strolled by three shots rang out and the Gambler fell 

He died in the arms of the lovely Marguerite 

When they brought her home she just could not be consoled 

Her mother sent out for a doctor and a priest 

But it was too late to save her body or her soul 

She'd gone to meet the Gambler 

Who was waiting for his lovely Marguerite

See the man in the picture with the falcon on his glove 

And the woman beside him, Queen of Hearts at her feet 

They looked so happy they must have been so much in love 

The famous Gambler and the lovely Marguerite 

They still talk about them in the town of Belvedere 

The old people can remember hearing gunfire in the street 

And now when the moon is full two lovers sometimes appear 

They say it's the ghost of The Gambler and the lovely Marguerite 

They say it's the ghost of The Gambler and the lovely Marguerite
