The Gambler (Live) - Johnny Hansen[00:00:01]

Written by：Don Schlitz[00:00:02]

On a warm summer's eve[00:00:06]

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[00:00:14]

So we took turns a starin'[00:00:17]

Out the window at the darkness[00:00:19]

The boredom overtook us he began to speak[00:00:22]

He said son I've made a life[00:00:27]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:30]

Knowin' what the cards were[00:00:34]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:36]

So if you don't mind me sayin'[00:00:39]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:42]

For a taste of your whiskey[00:00:44]

I'll give you some advice[00:00:47]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:51]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:54]

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

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

And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:03]

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

If you're gonna make a play game[00:01:08]

You gotta learn to play it right[00:01:11]

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:01:13]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:17]

Know when to walk away[00:01:20]

Know when to run[00:01:23]

You never count your money[00:01:25]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:28]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:30]

When the dealin's done[00:01:34]

Every gambler knows[00:01:41]

That the secret to survivin'[00:01:43]

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

And knowin' what to keep[00:01:49]

'Cause every hand's a winner[00:01:51]

And every hand's a loser[00:01:54]

And the best that you can hope for[00:01:57]

Is to die in your sleep[00:01:59]

And when he finished speakin'[00:02:03]

He turned back toward the window[00:02:05]

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:09]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:11]

And somewhere in the darkness[00:02:14]

The gambler he broke even[00:02:17]

And in his final words[00:02:19]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:21]

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

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:28]

Know when to walk away[00:02:31]

And know when to run[00:02:34]

You never count your money[00:02:35]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:39]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:41]

When the dealin's done[00:02:45]

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:47]

When to hold 'em[00:02:49]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:51]

When to fold 'em[00:02:52]

Know when to walk away[00:02:53]

And know when to run[00:02:56]

You never count your money[00:02:58]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:01]

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

When the dealin's done[00:03:07]

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:03:09]

Know when to fold 'em[00:03:13]

Know when to walk away[00:03:16]

And know when to run[00:03:18]

You never count your money[00:03:20]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:24]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:26]

When the dealin's done[00:03:30]
