The Gambler - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

About twenty years ago[00:00:08]

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:10]

I met up with The Gambler[00:00:13]

We were both too tired to sleep[00:00:15]

So we took turns a starin'[00:00:18]

Through the window at the darkness[00:00:20]

'Til boredom overtook us[00:00:23]

And he commenced to speak[00:00:26]

He said 'Son I've made a life[00:00:29]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:32]

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

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:37]

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

I would say you're out of aces[00:00:42]

And for one taste of your whiskey[00:00:44]

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

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

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

Then he bummed a cigarette[00:00:55]

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

The night got deathly quiet[00:01:01]

And his face lost all expression[00:01:03]

He said 'If you're gonna play the game boy[00:01:04]

You better learn to play it right'[00:01:08]

'Cause ev'ry gambler knows[00:01:12]

That the secret to survival[00:01:14]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:17]

And knowin' what to keep[00:01:19]

And ev'ry hand's a winner[00:01:22]

Just like ev'ry hand's a loser[00:01:24]

And the best that you can hope for[00:01:27]

Is to die in your sleep [00:01:29]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:01:32]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:35]

Know when to walk away[00:01:37]

Know when to run[00:01:40]

You don't ever count your money[00:01:42]

While you're sittin' at the table[00:01:44]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:46]

When the dealin' is done[00:01:49]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:01:51]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:54]

Know when to walk away[00:01:56]

Know when to run[00:01:59]

You don't ever count your money[00:02:01]

While you're sittin' at the table[00:02:03]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:06]

When the dealin' is done[00:02:08]

And when he finished speakin'[00:02:16]

He turned back t'ward the window[00:02:18]

Put out his cigarette[00:02:21]

Faded off to sleep[00:02:23]

And somewhere in the darkness[00:02:26]

The gambler he broke even[00:02:28]

But in his final words[00:02:31]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:33]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:35]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:38]

Know when to walk away[00:02:41]

Know when to run[00:02:43]

You don't ever count your money[00:02:45]

While you're sittin' at the table[00:02:48]

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

When the dealin' is done[00:02:52]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:55]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:58]

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

Know when to run[00:03:02]

You don't ever count your money[00:03:04]

While you're sittin' at the table[00:03:07]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:09]

When the dealin' is done[00:03:11]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:03:14]

Know when to fold 'em[00:03:16]

Know when to walk away[00:03:19]

Know when to run[00:03:21]

You don't ever count your money[00:03:23]

While you're sittin' at the table[00:03:26]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:28]

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