The Gambler (赌徒) - Country Big Band[00:00:00]

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

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:09]

I met up with the gambler[00:00:12]

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]

When boredom overtook us[00:00:22]

He began to speak[00:00:25]

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[00:00:33]

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

So if you don't mind my sayin'[00:00:38]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:41]

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

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

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:50]

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

Then he bummed a cigarette[00:00:57]

And asked me for a light[00:00:59]

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

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

Said if[00:01:07]

He gonna play the game boy[00:01:07]

You gotta learn to play it right[00:01:10]

You've got to know[00:01:12]

When to hold[00:01:13]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:16]

Know when to walk away[00:01:19]

Know when to run[00:01:21]

That count your money[00:01:23]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:26]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:28]

When the dealer's done[00:01:32]

Every gambler knows[00:01:39]

The secret to survivin'[00:01:41]

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

And knowin' what to keep[00:01:46]

'cause every hand's a winner[00:01:49]

And every hand's a loser[00:01:51]

And the best that you can hope for[00:01:54]

Is to die in your sleep[00:01:57]

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

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

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:05]

Faded off to sleep[00:02:08]

Somewhere in the darkness[00:02:10]

The gambler he broke even[00:02:13]

But in his final words I found[00:02:16]

An ace that I could keep[00:02:18]

You've got to know[00:02:21]

When to hold[00:02:22]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:24]

Know when to walk away[00:02:27]

Know when to run[00:02:30]

You never count your money[00:02:31]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:34]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:37]

When the dealer's done[00:02:40]

Got to know[00:02:42]

When to hold[00:02:43]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:46]

Know when to walk away[00:02:48]

Know when to run[00:02:51]

You never count your money[00:02:52]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:55]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:58]

When the dealer's done[00:03:01]

You've got to know[00:03:03]

When to hold 'em[00:03:04]

Know when to fold 'em[00:03:07]

Know when to walk away[00:03:09]

Know when to run[00:03:12]

You never count your money[00:03:14]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:17]
