[Verse]

They whisper ‘bout the shadow crawler,

Sneakin’ where the moonlight bends,

Coat so dark, it drinks the holler,

Leaves no trail, just stories penned.

[Chorus]

Did you hear ‘bout the midnight gambler?

Vanished when the rooster sang.

Did you hear ‘bout the midnight gambler?

The echoes where his footsteps hang.

[Verse 2]

Boots that hush the gravel sighin’,

Eyes sharper than a widow’s blade.

Slippin’ through where dreams are dyin’,

The night his only barricade.

[Bridge]

No lantern, no companion calls,

Just the scrape of time he steals.

Jumped the garden, kissed the walls,

A secret only darkness feels.

[Chorus]

Did you hear ‘bout the midnight gambler?

Vanished when the rooster sang.

Did you hear ‘bout the midnight gambler?

The echoes where his footsteps hang.
