The Gambler

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere

  • On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
  • I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep
  • So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
  • 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
  • He said "Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces
  • And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
  • So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces
  • For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"
  • So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
  • Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
  • And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
  • Said "If you're gonna play the game boy you gotta learn to play it right"
  • You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
  • Know when to walk away and 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 dealing's done
  • Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
  • Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
  • 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
  • And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
  • And when he finished speakin' he turned back towards the window
  • Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
  • And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
  • But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
  • You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
  • Know when to walk away and 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 dealing's done
  • You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
  • Know when to walk away and 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 dealing's done
  • You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
  • Know when to walk away and 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 dealing's done
