The Gambler (赌徒) - The King's Singers (国王歌手合唱团)[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evenin'[00:00:05]

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:08]

I met up with the gambler[00:00:11]

We were both too tired to sleep[00:00:13]

So we took turns a starin'[00:00:16]

Out the window at the darkness[00:00:18]

Till boredom overtook us and he began to speak[00:00:21]

He said[00:00:26]

Son I've made a life[00:00:27]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:29]

And knowin' what their cards[00:00:32]

Were by the way they held their eyes[00:00:34]

So if you don't mind my sayin'[00:00:37]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:40]

For a taste of your whiskey[00:00:43]

I'll give you some advice[00:00:45]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:49]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:52]

Then he bummed a cigarette[00:00:55]

And asked me for a light[00:00:58]

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

And his face lost all expression[00:01:03]

Said If you're gonna play the game[00:01:06]

Boy you gotta learn to play it right[00:01:08]

You got to know when to hold them[00:01:11]

Know when to fold them[00:01:15]

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

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

You never count your money[00:01:23]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:26]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:29]

When the dealing's done[00:01:32]

Every gambler knows[00:01:39]

That the secret to survivin'[00:01:41]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:44]

And knowing what to keep[00:01:47]

'Cause every hand's a winner[00:01:49]

And every hand's a loser[00:01:52]

And the best that you can hope[00:01:55]

For is to die in your sleep[00:01:57]

And when he finished speakin'[00:02:01]

He turned back towards the window[00:02:03]

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:07]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:09]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler[00:02:12]

He broke even[00:02:16]

But in his final words[00:02:18]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:20]

You got to know when to hold them[00:02:23]

Know when to fold them[00:02:27]

Know when to walk away[00:02:29]

And know when to run[00:02:32]

You never count your money[00:02:34]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:37]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:40]

When the dealing's done[00:02:43]

You got to know when to hold them[00:02:45]

Know when to fold them[00:02:49]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:52]

You never count your money[00:02:56]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:59]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:02]

When the dealing's done[00:03:05]

You got to know when to hold them[00:03:07]

Know when to fold them[00:03:11]

Know when to walk away[00:03:14]

And know when to run[00:03:16]

You never count your money[00:03:18]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:21]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:24]
