《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler - Bobby Bare

[00:00:10] On the warm summer's eve

[00:00:13] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:17] I met up with a gambler

[00:00:19] We were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:22] So we took turns starin'

[00:00:25] Out window at the darkness

[00:00:28] Till boredom overtook us

[00:00:31] And he commenced to speak

[00:00:33] He said son I made a life

[00:00:36] Out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:39] And knowin' what the cards were

[00:00:42] By the way they held their eyes

[00:00:45] And if you don't mind my sayin'

[00:00:47] I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:50] And for a taste of your whiskey

[00:00:53] I would give you some advice

[00:00:55] So I handed him my bottle

[00:00:58] And he drank down my last swallow

[00:01:02] Then he'd bummed a cigarette

[00:01:05] And asked me for a light

[00:01:07] And the night got deathly quiet

[00:01:10] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:13] He said if you gonna play the game boy

[00:01:16] You gotta learn to play it right

[00:01:18] Now you gotta know when to hold up

[00:01:22] Know when to fold up

[00:01:25] Know when to walk away

[00:01:28] Know when to run

[00:01:30] And you never count your money

[00:01:32] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:35] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:38] When the dealin's done

[00:01:48] He said every gambler knows

[00:01:51] That the secret to survival

[00:01:54] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:57] And knowin' what to keep

[00:02:00] Cause every hand's a winner

[00:02:02] And give hand's a loser

[00:02:05] And the best you can hope for

[00:02:08] Is to die in your sleep

[00:02:11] When he finished speaking

[00:02:14] He turned back to the window

[00:02:17] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:20] And faded off to sleep

[00:02:22] Somewhere in the darkness

[00:02:26] The gambler he broke even

[00:02:28] In his final words

[00:02:30] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:33] You gotta know when to hold

[00:02:37] Know when to fold up

[00:02:40] Know when to walk away

[00:02:43] Know when to run

[00:02:45] You never count your money

[00:02:47] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:50] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:53] When the dealin's done

[00:02:56] You gotta know when to hold

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

[00:03:02] Know when to walk away

[00:03:05] Know when to run

[00:03:07] You never count your money

[00:03:10] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:12] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:15] When the dealin's done

[00:03:18] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:22] When the dealin's done
