The Gambler (赌徒) - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere[00:00:06]

I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep[00:00:11]

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness[00:00:17]

'Til boredom overtook us and 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]

And knowin' what their cards[00:00:33]

Were by the way they held their eyes[00:00:35]

So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces[00:00:39]

For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"[00:00:44]

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

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:53]

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light[00:00:57]

And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:02]

And his face lost all expression[00:01:04]

Said, "If you're gonna play the game,[00:01:07]

Boy, you gotta learn to play it right"[00:01:09]

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em[00:01:12]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:01:19]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:01:23]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:01:29]

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'[00:01:39]

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

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

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep[00:01:55]

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

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

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep[00:02:06]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even[00:02:11]

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:17]

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em[00:02:22]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:28]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:33]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:02:38]

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em[00:02:44]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:50]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:54]

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

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em[00:03:05]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:03:12]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:03:16]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:03:22]
