《The Gambler》歌词

时长： 03:35

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere[00:00:07]

I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep[00:00:11]

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness[00:00:16]

'Til boredom overtook us' and he began to speak[00:00:22]

He said' "Son' I've made a life out of readin' people's faces[00:00:27]

And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes[00:00:32]

So if you don't mind my sayin'' I can see you're out of aces[00:00:37]

For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice "[00:00:43]

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow[00:00:49]

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light[00:00:56]

And the night got deathly quiet' and his face lost all expression[00:01:01]

Said' "If you're gonna play the game' boy' ya gotta learn to play it right[00:01:06]

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

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:01:18]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:01:22]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:01:28]

Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'[00:01:38]

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

'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser[00:01:50]

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep "[00:01:55]

And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back towards the window[00:02:00]

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep[00:02:06]

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler' he broke even[00:02:11]

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:17]

You got to know when to hold 'em' know when to fold 'em[00:02:22]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:29]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:34]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:02:39]

You got to know when to hold 'em' know when to fold 'em[00:02:45]

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:02:49]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:02:55]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:03:01]

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

Know when to walk away and know when to run[00:03:13]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table[00:03:17]

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done[00:03:23]
