The Gambler (赌徒) - Pickin' On Series[00:00:00]

On a warm summer's evening[00:00:06]

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[00:00:14]

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

Out the window at the darkness[00:00:19]

The boredom overtook us [00:00:22]

And he began to speak[00:00:25]

He said Son I've made a life[00:00:27]

Out of readin' people's faces[00:00:30]

Knowin' what the cards were[00:00:33]

By the way they held their eyes[00:00:35]

So if you don't mind me sayin'[00:00:38]

I can see you're out of aces[00:00:41]

For a taste of your whiskey[00:00:43]

I'll give you some advice[00:00:46]

So I handed him my bottle[00:00:50]

And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:53]

Then he bummed a cigarette[00:00:56]

And asked me for a light[00:00:59]

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

And his faced lost all expression[00:01:04]

He said [00:01:06]

If you're gonna play the game boy[00:01:06]

You gotta learn to play it right[00:01:09]

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

Know when to fold them[00:01:15]

Know when to walk away[00:01:18]

And 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[00:01:57]

That the secret to survivin'[00:02:00]

Is knowin' what to throw away[00:02:02]

And knowin' what to keep[00:02:05]

Cause every hand's a winner[00:02:08]

And every hand's a loser[00:02:10]

And the best that you[00:02:13]

Can hope for is to die[00:02:14]

In your sleep[00:02:16]

And when he finished speakin'[00:02:18]

He turned back toward the window[00:02:21]

Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:24]

And faded off to sleep[00:02:26]

And somewhere in the darkness[00:02:29]

The gambler he broke even[00:02:31]

But in his final words[00:02:34]

I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:36]

You've got to know when to hold them[00:02:39]

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

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

And know when to run[00:02:48]

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'[00:02:55]

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

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

Know when to fold them[00:03:04]

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

And know when to run[00:03:09]

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 dealin's done[00:03:19]

You've got to know when to hold them[00:03:21]

Know when to fold them[00:03:25]

Know when to walk away[00:03:27]

And know when to run[00:03:30]

You never count your money[00:03:31]

When you're sittin' at the table[00:03:34]

There'll be time enough for countin'[00:03:37]

When the dealin's done[00:03:40]
