[00:04.90] On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
[00:10.60] I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep
[00:15.30] So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
[00:21.00] 'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak
[00:26.00] He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces
[00:31.70] And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
[00:36.90] So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces
[00:42.30] For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
[00:48.60] So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
[00:55.10] Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
[00:59.80] And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression
[01:05.00] Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right
[01:10.30] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
[01:16.80] Know when to walk away and know when to run
[01:21.30] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[01:26.80] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
[01:32.00]
[01:37.40] Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
[01:42.50] Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
[01:47.70] 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser
[01:53.40] And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[01:58.80] And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back towards the window
[02:04.90] Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
[02:09.80] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even
[02:15.80] But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
[03:04.70][02:42.90][02:20.80] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
[03:11.40][02:49.30][02:27.40] Know when to walk away and know when to run
[03:15.90][02:53.80][02:31.80] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[03:21.40][02:59.40][02:37.60] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
[03:27.70]
