| [00:05.99] | On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere |
| [00:11.26] | I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep |
| [00:16.08] | So we took turns a-staring out the window at the darkness |
| [00:21.67] | The boredom overtook us, and he began to speak |
| [00:26.46] | He said, son I've made my life out of reading people's faces |
| [00:32.27] | And knowing what the cards were by the way they held their eyes |
| [00:37.47] | So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces |
| [00:42.94] | For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice |
| [00:49.08] | So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow |
| [00:55.67] | Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light |
| [01:00.43] | And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression |
| [01:05.70] | Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right |
| [01:10.92] | You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em |
| [01:17.31] | Know when to walk away, know when to run |
| [01:21.82] | You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table |
| [01:27.40] | There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done |
| [01:34.94] | |
| [01:38.08] | Now, every gambler knows, the secret to survivin' |
| [01:42.96] | Is knowing what to throw away, knowing what to keep |
| [01:48.18] | 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser |
| [01:53.75] | And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep |
| [01:59.21] | So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back toward the window |
| [02:04.53] | Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep |
| [02:10.12] | Then somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even |
| [02:16.14] | But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep |
| [02:21.22] | You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em |
| [02:27.82] | Know when to walk away, know when to run |
| [02:32.34] | You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table |
| [02:37.96] | There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done |
| [02:43.31] | You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em |
| [02:49.64] | Know when to walk away, know when to run |
| [02:54.28] | You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table |
| [02:59.94] | There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done |
