《The Gambler》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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