《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - Kid Drew and the Kids

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

[00:00:26] He said son I've made a life

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

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

[00:00:34] By the way they held their eyes

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

[00:00:39] I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:42] For a taste of your whiskey

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

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

[00:00:51] And he drank down my last swallow

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

[00:00:57] And asked me for a light

[00:00:59] And the night got deathly quiet

[00:01:02] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:05] Said if you're gonna play the game

[00:01:07] Boy you gotta learn to play it right

[00:01:10] You got to know when to hold them

[00:01:13] Know when to fold them

[00:01:16] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:01:20] You never count your money

[00:01:23] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:26] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:29] When the dealing's done

[00:01:35] Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

[00:01:41] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:43] And knowing what to keep

[00:01:46] 'Cause every hand's a winner

[00:01:48] And every hand's a loser

[00:01:50] And the best that you can hope for

[00:01:54] Is to die in your sleep

[00:01:57] And when he finished speakin'

[00:01:59] He turned back towards the window

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

[00:02:07] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler

[00:02:10] He broke even

[00:02:12] But in his final words

[00:02:14] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:17] You got to know when to hold them

[00:02:21] Know when to fold them

[00:02:23] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:28] You never count your money

[00:02:31] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:33] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:37] When the dealing's done

[00:02:38] You got to know when to hold them

[00:02:42] Know when to fold them

[00:02:45] Know when to walk away

[00:02:47] Know when to run

[00:02:49] You never count your money

[00:02:52] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:54] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:58] When the dealing's done

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

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

[00:03:06] Know when to walk away

[00:03:08] Know when to run

[00:03:10] You never count your money

[00:03:13] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:16] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:19] When the dealing's done
