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

On the warm summer's eve[00:00:10]

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:13]

I met up with a gambler[00:00:17]

We were both too tired to sleep[00:00:19]

So we took turns starin'[00:00:22]

Out window at the darkness[00:00:25]

Till boredom overtook us[00:00:28]

And he commenced to speak[00:00:31]

He said son I made a life[00:00:33]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:36]

And knowin' what the cards were[00:00:39]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:42]

And if you don't mind my sayin'[00:00:45]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:47]

And for a taste of your whiskey[00:00:50]

I would give you some advice[00:00:53]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:55]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:58]

Then he'd bummed a cigarette[00:01:02]

And asked me for a light[00:01:05]

And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:07]

And his face lost all expression[00:01:10]

He said if you gonna play the game boy[00:01:13]

You gotta learn to play it right[00:01:16]

Now you gotta know when to hold up[00:01:18]

Know when to fold up[00:01:22]

Know when to walk away[00:01:25]

Know when to run[00:01:28]

And you never count your money[00:01:30]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:32]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:35]

When the dealin's done[00:01:38]

He said every gambler knows[00:01:48]

That the secret to survival[00:01:51]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:54]

And knowin' what to keep[00:01:57]

Cause every hand's a winner[00:02:00]

And give hand's a loser[00:02:02]

And the best you can hope for[00:02:05]

Is to die in your sleep[00:02:08]

When he finished speaking[00:02:11]

He turned back to the window[00:02:14]

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:17]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:20]

Somewhere in the darkness[00:02:22]

The gambler he broke even[00:02:26]

In his final words[00:02:28]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:30]

You gotta know when to hold[00:02:33]

Know when to fold up[00:02:37]

Know when to walk away[00:02:40]

Know when to run[00:02:43]

You never count your money[00:02:45]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:47]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:50]

When the dealin's done[00:02:53]

You gotta know when to hold[00:02:56]

Know when to fold up[00:03:00]

Know when to walk away[00:03:02]

Know when to run[00:03:05]

You never count your money[00:03:07]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:10]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:12]

When the dealin's done[00:03:15]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:18]

When the dealin's done[00:03:22]
