《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler - The King'S Singers

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

[00:00:08] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:11] I met up with the gambler

[00:00:13] We were both too tired to sleep

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

[00:00:18] Out the window at the darkness

[00:00:21] Till boredom overtook us and he began to speak

[00:00:26] He said

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

[00:00:29] Out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:32] And knowin' what their cards

[00:00:34] Were by the way they held their eyes

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

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

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

[00:00:45] I'll give you some advice

[00:00:49] So I handed him my bottle

[00:00:52] And he drank down my last swallow

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:21] And know when to run

[00:01:23] You never count your money

[00:01:26] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:29] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:32] When the dealing's done

[00:01:39] Every gambler knows

[00:01:41] That the secret to survivin'

[00:01:44] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:47] And knowing what to keep

[00:01:49] 'Cause every hand's a winner

[00:01:52] And every hand's a loser

[00:01:55] And the best that you can hope

[00:01:57] For is to die in your sleep

[00:02:01] And when he finished speakin'

[00:02:03] He turned back towards the window

[00:02:07] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:09] And faded off to sleep

[00:02:12] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler

[00:02:16] He broke even

[00:02:18] But in his final words

[00:02:20] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:23] You got to know when to hold them

[00:02:27] Know when to fold them

[00:02:29] Know when to walk away

[00:02:32] And know when to run

[00:02:34] You never count your money

[00:02:37] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:40] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:43] When the dealing's done

[00:02:45] You got to know when to hold them

[00:02:49] Know when to fold them

[00:02:52] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:56] You never count your money

[00:02:59] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:02] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:05] When the dealing's done

[00:03:07] You got to know when to hold them

[00:03:11] Know when to fold them

[00:03:14] Know when to walk away

[00:03:16] And know when to run

[00:03:18] You never count your money

[00:03:21] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:24] There'll be time enough for countin'
