The Gambler (赌徒) - Kid Drew and the Kids[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evenin'[00:00:05]

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[00:00:13]

So we took turns a starin'[00:00:16]

Out the window at the darkness[00:00:18]

'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak[00:00:21]

He said son I've made a life [00:00:26]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:29]

And knowin' what their cards were[00:00:32]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:34]

So if you don't mind my sayin' [00:00:37]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:39]

For a taste of your whiskey[00:00:42]

I'll give you some advice[00:00:45]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:49]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:51]

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

And asked me for a light[00:00:57]

And the night got deathly quiet[00:00:59]

And his face lost all expression[00:01:02]

Said if you're gonna play the game [00:01:05]

Boy you gotta learn to play it right[00:01:07]

You got to know when to hold them [00:01:10]

Know when to fold them[00:01:13]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:01:16]

You never count your money[00:01:20]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:23]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:26]

When the dealing's done[00:01:29]

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'[00:01:35]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:41]

And knowing what to keep[00:01:43]

'Cause every hand's a winner[00:01:46]

And every hand's a loser[00:01:48]

And the best that you can hope for[00:01:50]

Is to die in your sleep[00:01:54]

And when he finished speakin' [00:01:57]

He turned back towards the window[00:01:59]

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

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler [00:02:07]

He broke even[00:02:10]

But in his final words[00:02:12]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:14]

You got to know when to hold them [00:02:17]

Know when to fold them[00:02:21]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:23]

You never count your money[00:02:28]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:31]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:33]

When the dealing's done[00:02:37]

You got to know when to hold them [00:02:38]

Know when to fold them[00:02:42]

Know when to walk away[00:02:45]

Know when to run[00:02:47]

You never count your money[00:02:49]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:52]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:54]

When the dealing's done[00:02:58]

You got to know when to hold them [00:03:00]

Know when to fold them[00:03:03]

Know when to walk away[00:03:06]

Know when to run[00:03:08]

You never count your money[00:03:10]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:13]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:16]

When the dealing's done[00:03:19]
