The Gambler - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]

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

On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:07]

I met up with the Gambler[00:00:10]

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]

The boredom overtook us 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]

Knowin' what the cards were[00:00:32]

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

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

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:40]

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[00:00:52]

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

And asked me for a light[00:00:58]

And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:00]

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

He said if you're gonna play the game boy[00:01:05]

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

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:01:11]

Know when to fold 'em[00:01:14]

Know when to walk away[00:01:17]

Know when to run[00:01:20]

You never count your money[00:01:22]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:01:25]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:01:27]

When the dealin's done[00:01:31]

Every Gambler knows[00:01:38]

That the secret to survivin'[00:01:40]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:01:43]

And knowin' what to keep[00:01:45]

'Cause every hand's a winner[00:01:48]

And every hand's a loser[00:01:51]

And the best that you can hope for[00:01:54]

Is to die in your sleep[00:01:56]

And when he finished speakin'[00:01:59]

He turned back toward the window[00:02:02]

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:05]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:07]

And somewhere in the darkness[00:02:10]

The Gambler he broke even[00:02:13]

And in his final words[00:02:16]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:18]

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:21]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:25]

Know when to walk away[00:02:28]

And know when to run[00:02:31]

You never count your money[00:02:32]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:36]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:02:38]

When the dealin's done[00:02:42]

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:02:44]

When to hold 'em[00:02:46]

Know when to fold 'em[00:02:47]

When to fold 'em[00:02:49]

Know when to walk away[00:02:50]

And know when to run[00:02:53]

You never count your money[00:02:55]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:02:58]

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

When the dealin's done[00:03:04]

You've got to know when to hold 'em[00:03:06]

Know when to fold 'em[00:03:09]

Know when to walk away[00:03:12]

And know when to run[00:03:15]

You never count your money[00:03:17]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:20]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:22]

When the dealin's done[00:03:26]
