《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:06] 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

[00:00:17] 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,

[00:00:30] Out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:33] And knowin' what their cards

[00:00:35] Were by the way they held their eyes

[00:00:39] So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:44] For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"

[00:00:51] So I handed him my bottle

[00:00:53] And he drank down my last swallow

[00:00:57] Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

[00:01:02] And the night got deathly quiet

[00:01:04] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:07] Said, "If you're gonna play the game,

[00:01:09] Boy, you gotta learn to play it right"

[00:01:12] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

[00:01:19] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:01:23] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:29] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

[00:01:39] Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

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

[00:01:49] 'Cause every hand's a winner and every 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 finished speakin',

[00:02:03] 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

[00:02:28] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:33] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:38] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

[00:02:44] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

[00:02:50] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:54] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

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

[00:03:05] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

[00:03:12] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:03:16] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:22] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
