The Gambler - Busy Signal[00:00:00]

Written by：John Rich/Charlie Pennachio/Chris Chin/Cristy Barber/Raymond Barber[00:00:01]

On a warm summer's evenin'[00:00:12]

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:15]

I met up with the gambler[00:00:17]

We were both too tired to sleep[00:00:20]

So we took turns to stairrin' out the window at the darkness[00:00:23]

Till boredom over took us[00:00:28]

And he begun to speak[00:00:32]

He said son I've made a life[00:00:34]

Out of readin' peoples faces[00:00:37]

And knowing what their cards were[00:00:40]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:42]

So if you don't mind me saying[00:00:45]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:48]

For the taste of your whisky[00:00:51]

I'll give you some advice[00:00:53]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:57]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:01:00]

And he bummed a cigarrete[00:01:04]

And asked me for a light[00:01:06]

And the night dark gettin' quiet[00:01:08]

And his face lost all expression[00:01:11]

Said if you gonna play the game[00:01:14]

Boy you gotta learn to play it right[00:01:16]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:01:19]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:23]

Know when to walk away[00:01:25]

Know when to run[00:01:28]

You never count your money while sitting at the table[00:01:30]

They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done[00:01:35]

Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving[00:01:46]

Is knowing what to throw in and knowing what to keep[00:01:51]

'Cause every hand's a winner and every hands a looser[00:01:56]

And the best that you can hope[00:02:02]

For is to dyin' to sleep[00:02:04]

And when he finished speaking[00:02:07]

He turned back towards the window[00:02:10]

Crushed down his cigarette faded off to sleep[00:02:14]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler[00:02:18]

He broke even but in his final words I found[00:02:22]

A message I could keep[00:02:27]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:29]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:33]

Know when to walk away[00:02:36]

Know when to run[00:02:38]

You never count your money while sitting at the table[00:02:40]

They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done[00:02:46]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:51]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:55]

Know when to walk away[00:02:58]

Know when to run[00:03:00]

You never count your money while sitting at the table[00:03:02]

They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done[00:03:08]

You got to know when to hold 'em[00:03:13]

Know when to fold 'em[00:03:17]

Know when to walk away[00:03:20]

Know when to run[00:03:22]

You never count your money while sitting at the table[00:03:24]

They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done[00:03:30]
