The Gambler (赌徒) - DJ Otzi[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere[00:00:05]

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' 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 were[00:00:33]

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

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

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[00:00:46]

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

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

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

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

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

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"[00:01:10]

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

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

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

And know when to run[00:01:21]

You never count your money[00:01:23]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:27]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:29]

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

Every gambler knows that[00:01:40]

The secret to survivin'[00:01:42]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:45]

And knowing what to keep[00:01:47]

'Cause every hand's a winner[00:01:50]

Every hand's a loser[00:01:53]

And the best[00:01:56]

That you can hope for is to die in your sleep[00:01:57]

And when he finished speakin'[00:02:01]

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

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:07]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:09]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler[00:02:12]

He broke even[00:02:16]

But in his final words[00:02:18]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:20]

You got to know when to hold 'em know[00:02:23]

When to fold 'em[00:02:26]

Know when to walk away[00:02:28]

And know when to run[00:02:32]

You never count your money[00:02:34]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:37]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:40]

When the dealing's done[00:02:42]

You got to know when to hold 'em know[00:02:45]

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

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:51]

You never count your money[00:02:56]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:59]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:02]

When the dealing's done[00:03:04]

You got to know when to hold 'em know[00:03:07]

When to fold 'em[00:03:11]

Know when to walk away and know[00:03:13]

When to run[00:03:17]

You never count your money[00:03:18]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:21]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:23]

When the dealing's done[00:03:26]
