The Gambler
On a warm summer's evenin'
- 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 staring
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
