Yeah[00:00:01]
2004 c'mon c'mon[00:00:03]
You gotta know when to hold 'em[00:00:05]
Know when to fold 'em[00:00:09]
Know when to walk away[00:00:11]
And know when to run[00:00:14]
You never count your money[00:00:15]
When you're sittin' at the table[00:00:18]
There'll be time enough for countin'[00:00:20]
When the dealin's done[00:00:24]
On a warm summer's evenin'[00:00:31]
On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:33]
I met up with the gambler[00:00:36]
We were both too tired to sleep[00:00:38]
So we took turns a starin'[00:00:41]
Out the window at the darkness[00:00:43]
Till boredom overtook us[00:00:46]
And he began to speak[00:00:49]
He said son I've made a life[00:00:51]
Out of readin peoples faces[00:00:53]
Oh yes[00:00:55]
Oh yes[00:00:55]
Knowin' what their cards were[00:00:56]
By the way they held their eyes[00:00:58]
Parliaments parliaments sub purliaments[00:01:00]
So if you don't mind my sayin'[00:01:02]
I can see you're out of aces[00:01:03]
For a taste of your whiskey[00:01:07]
I'll give you some advice[00:01:08]
So I handed him my bottle[00:01:11]
And he drank down my last swallow[00:01:14]
Then he bummed a cigarette[00:01:17]
And asked me for a light[00:01:19]
And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:21]
And his face lost all expression[00:01:24]
Said if you're gonna play the game boy[00:01:26]
Ya gotta learn to play it right[00:01:29]
You gotta know when to hold 'em[00:01:31]
Know when to fold 'em[00:01:35]
Know when to walk away[00:01:37]
And know when to run[00:01:39]
You never count your money[00:01:41]
When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:44]
There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:46]
When the dealin's done[00:01:50]
Now ev'ry gambler knows[00:01:54]
Ev'ry gambler knows[00:01:56]
Secret to survivin'[00:01:57]
Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:59]
And knowing what to keep[00:02:02]
'Cause ev'ry hands a winner[00:02:05]
Ev'ry hands a loser[00:02:07]
And the best that you can hope for[00:02:10]
To die in your sleep[00:02:12]
And when hed finished speakin'[00:02:17]
He turned back towards the window[00:02:19]
Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:22]
And faded off to sleep[00:02:24]
And somewhere in the darkness[00:02:27]
The gambler he broke even[00:02:30]
But in his final words I found[00:02:32]
An ace that I could keep[00:02:35]
You gotta know when to hold 'em[00:02:37]
Know when to fold 'em[00:02:40]
Know when to walk away[00:02:43]
And know when to run[00:02:45]
You never count your money[00:02:47]
When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:50]
There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:52]
When the dealin's done[00:02:55]
You gotta know when to hold hold 'em[00:02:57]
Know when to fold 'em[00:03:01]
Know when to walk away[00:03:03]
And know when to run[00:03:05]
You never count your money[00:03:07]
When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:10]
There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:12]
When the dealin's done[00:03:16]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:32]
When the dealin's done[00:03:36]
