The Gambler (赌徒) - The Sheltons[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere[00:00:08]

I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep[00:00:14]

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness[00:00:19]

'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak[00:00:25]

He said "Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces[00:00:30]

And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes[00:00:36]

So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces[00:00:41]

For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"[00:00:46]

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow[00:00:53]

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light[00:00:59]

And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression[00:01:04]

Said "If you're gonna play the game boy you gotta learn to play it right"[00:01:09]

You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em[00:01:15]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:01:21]

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

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

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'[00:01:41]

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep[00:01:46]

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

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

And when he finished speakin' he turned back towards the window[00:02:03]

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep[00:02:09]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even[00:02:14]

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

You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em[00:02:24]

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

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:35]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:02:41]

You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em[00:02:46]

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

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:57]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:03:02]

You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em[00:03:08]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:03:14]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:03:19]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:03:24]
