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

I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep[00:00:06]

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness[00:00:11]

'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak[00:00:17]

He said "Son I've made a life [00:00:21]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:24]

And knowin' what their cards were[00:00:28]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:30]

So if you don't mind my sayin' [00:00:32]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:35]

For a taste of your whiskey[00:00:37]

I'll give you some advice"[00:00:40]

So I handed him my bottle and[00:00:43]

He drank down my last swallow[00:00:46]

Then he bummed a cigarette and[00:00:49]

Asked me for a light[00:00:51]

And the night got deathly quiet and[00:00:53]

His face lost all expression[00:00:56]

Said "If you're gonna play the game [00:00:59]

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

You got to know when to hold 'em [00:01:04]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:07]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:01:10]

You never count your money[00:01:14]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:17]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done[00:01:20]

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'[00:01:29]

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep[00:01:35]

'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser[00:01:40]

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep[00:01:45]

And when he finished speakin' [00:01:51]

He turned back towards the window[00:01:52]

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep[00:01:56]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler [00:02:01]

He broke even[00:02:06]

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:08]

You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em[00:02:11]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:17]

You never count your money[00:02:22]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:24]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:27]

When the dealing's done[00:02:30]

You got to know when to hold 'em [00:02:32]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:35]

Know when to walk away and[00:02:38]

Know when to run[00:02:41]

You never count your money[00:02:43]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:46]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:48]

When the dealing's done[00:02:52]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:53]

When the dealing's done[00:02:57]
