Gambling songs

Since we can't flit off to Vegas and blow our money the way we used to (well, we can, but it would be foolhardy to do so now), what we need is some inspirational music. I'll list a few here, and I'd like for you to add more suggestions:

 

Kenny Rogers, "The Gambler" (of course)

Mary Chapin Carpenter "I Take My Chances"

Carl Orff: "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" (Fortune, the Empress of the World): the first two songs from "Carmina Burana" 

 

Any others you can think of?

AC/DC "She's got the Jack"

"Luck Be a Lady Tonight"--Frank Sinatra sang it, don't know who wrote it.

 

From Guys and Dolls--"I've got the horse right here, his name is Paul Revere"....

 

Guys and Dolls has a bunch.  "The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York" 

 

"Moonlight Gambler"--Frankie Laine
