The Gambler - Die Campbells[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evenin'[00:00:10]

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:12]

I met up with the gambler[00:00:15]

We were both too tired to sleep[00:00:17]

So we took turns a starin'[00:00:20]

Out the window at the darkness[00:00:23]

Till boredom overtook us[00:00:25]

And he began to speak[00:00:28]

He said Son I've made a life[00:00:30]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:33]

And knowin' what their cards were[00:00:36]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:38]

So if you don't mind my sayin'[00:00:40]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:43]

For a taste of your whiskey[00:00:46]

I'll give you some advice[00:00:48]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:52]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:55]

Then he bummed a cigarette[00:00:58]

And asked me for a light[00:01:00]

And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:02]

And his face lost all expression[00:01:05]

Said If you're gonna play the game[00:01:07]

Boy you better learn to play it right[00:01:09]

You got to know when to hold them[00:01:12]

Know when to fold them[00:01:16]

Know when to walk away[00:01:18]

And know when to run[00:01:21]

You never count your money[00:01:22]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:25]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:27]

When the dealing's done[00:01:31]

Every gambler knows[00:01:37]

That the secret to survivin'[00:01:39]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:42]

And knowing what to keep[00:01:45]

'Cause every hand's a winner[00:01:47]

And every hand's a loser[00:01:50]

And the best that you can hope for[00:01:52]

Is to die in your sleep[00:01:54]

And when he finished speakin'[00:01:57]

He turned back towards the window[00:02:00]

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:03]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:05]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler[00:02:07]

He broke even[00:02:11]

But in his final words[00:02:13]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:14]

You got to know when to hold them[00:02:17]

Know when to fold them[00:02:21]

Know when to walk away[00:02:23]

Know when to run[00:02:26]

You never count your money[00:02:28]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:30]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:33]

When the dealing's done[00:02:36]

You got to know when to hold them[00:02:38]

When to hold them[00:02:40]

Know when to fold them[00:02:41]

When to fold them[00:02:43]

Know when to walk away[00:02:44]

Know when to run[00:02:46]

You never count your money[00:02:48]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:51]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:53]

When the dealing's done[00:02:56]

You got to know when to hold them[00:02:58]

Know when to fold them[00:03:02]

Know when to walk away[00:03:04]

Know when to run[00:03:07]

You never count your money[00:03:08]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:11]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:13]

When the dealing's done[00:03:17]
