The Gambler
On the warm summer's eve on a train bound for nowhere
- On the warm summer's eve on a train bound for nowhere
- I met up with a gambler we were both too tired to sleep
- So we took turns starin' out window at the darkness
- Till boredom overtook us and he commenced to speak
- He said son I made a life out of readin' people's faces
- And knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes
- And if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces
- And for a taste of your whiskey I would give you some advice
- So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
- Then he'd bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
- And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
- He said if you gonna play the game boy
- You gotta learn to play it right
- You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up
- Know when to walk away know when to run
- You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
- There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
- He said every gambler knows that the secret to survival
- Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep
- Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
- And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep
- When he finished speaking he turned back to the window
- Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
- Somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
- In his final words I found an ace that I could keep
- You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up
- Know when to walk away know when to run
- You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
- There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
- You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up
- Know when to walk away know when to run
- You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
- There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
- There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
- There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
