The Gambler

On a warm Summer's eve

  • On a warm Summer's eve
  • 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
  • The boredom overtook us
  • And he began to speak
  • He said son I've made a life
  • Out of readin' people's faces
  • Knowin' what the cards were
  • By the way they held their eyes
  • So if you don't mind me 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 faced lost all expression
  • He said if you're gonna play the game boy
  • You gotta learn to play it right
  • You've 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 dealin's done
  • Every gambler knows
  • That the secret to survivin'
  • 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 that you can hope for is to die
  • In your sleep
  • And when he finished speakin'
  • He turned back toward the window
  • Crushed out his cigarette
  • And faded off to sleep
  • And somewhere in the darkness
  • The gambler he broke even
  • And in his final words
  • I found an ace that I could keep
  • You've 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 dealin's done
  • You've got to know when to hold 'em when to hold 'em
  • Know when to fold 'em 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 dealin's
  • When the dealin's done
  • You've 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 dealin's
  • When the dealin's done
