《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - The Sheltons

[00:00:08] On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:14] I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:19] So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness

[00:00:25] 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak

[00:00:30] He said "Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:36] And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes

[00:00:41] So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:46] For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"

[00:00:53] So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow

[00:00:59] Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

[00:01:04] And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression

[00:01:09] Said "If you're gonna play the game boy you gotta learn to play it right"

[00:01:15] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

[00:01:21] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:01:26] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:31] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

[00:01:41] Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

[00:01:46] Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep

[00:01:52] 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser

[00:01:57] And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep

[00:02:03] And when he finished speakin' he turned back towards the window

[00:02:09] Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep

[00:02:14] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even

[00:02:19] But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:24] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

[00:02:30] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:35] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:41] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

[00:02:46] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

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

[00:02:57] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:02] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

[00:03:08] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

[00:03:14] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:03:19] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:24] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
