The Gambler - Bobby Angel[00:00:00]

Written by：Schiltz[00:00:02]

On the warm summer's eve on a train bound for nowhere[00:00:10]

I met up with a gambler we were both too tired to sleep[00:00:16]

So we took turns starin' out window at the darkness[00:00:21]

Till boredom overtook us and he commenced to speak[00:00:26]

He said son I made a life out of readin' people's faces[00:00:31]

And knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes[00:00:37]

And if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces[00:00:42]

And for a taste of your whiskey I would give you some advice[00:00:47]

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow[00:00:54]

Then he'd bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light[00:01:00]

And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression[00:01:05]

He said if you gonna play the game boy[00:01:10]

You gotta learn to play it right[00:01:13]

You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up[00:01:16]

Know when to walk away know when to run[00:01:22]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:01:26]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:01:31]

He said every gambler knows that the secret to survival[00:01:42]

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep[00:01:47]

Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser[00:01:52]

And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep[00:01:57]

When he finished speaking he turned back to the window[00:02:02]

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep[00:02:08]

Somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even[00:02:13]

In his final words I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:19]

You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up[00:02:24]

Know when to walk away know when to run[00:02:30]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:34]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:02:40]

You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up[00:02:45]

Know when to walk away know when to run[00:02:51]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:55]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:03:01]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:03:06]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:03:11]
