[00:00:00] The Gambler - Die Campbells

[00:00:00] Written by：Don Schlitz

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

[00:00:12] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:15] I met up with the gambler

[00:00:17] We were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:20] So we took turns a starin'

[00:00:22] Out the window at the darkness

[00:00:25] The boredom overtook us

[00:00:28] And he began to speak

[00:00:30] He said son I've made a life

[00:00:32] Out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:35] Knowin' what the cards were

[00:00:38] By the way they held their eyes

[00:00:40] So if you don't mind me sayin'

[00:00:43] I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:45] For a taste of your whiskey

[00:00:48] I'll give you some advice

[00:00:52] So I handed him my bottle

[00:00:54] And he drank down my last swallow

[00:00:57] Then he bummed a cigarette

[00:00:59] 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] He said if you're gonna play the game boy

[00:01:09] You gotta learn to play it right

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

[00:01:15] Know when to fold 'em

[00:01:18] Know when to walk away

[00:01:20] And know when to run

[00:01:22] You never count your money

[00:01:25] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:27] There'll be time enough for counting

[00:01:31] When the dealin's done

[00:01:37] Every gambler knows

[00:01:39] That the secret to survivin'

[00:01:42] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:44] And knowin' what to keep

[00:01:47] 'Cause every hand's a winner

[00:01:49] And every hand's a loser

[00:01:52] And the best that you can hope for is to die

[00:01:55] In your sleep

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

[00:02:00] He turned back toward the window

[00:02:02] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:04] And faded off to sleep

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

[00:02:10] The gambler 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've got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:20] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:23] Know when to walk away

[00:02:26] And know when to run

[00:02:27] You never count your money

[00:02:30] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:32] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:36] When the dealin's done

[00:02:37] You've got to know when to hold 'em when to hold 'em

[00:02:41] Know when to fold 'em when to fold 'em

[00:02:43] Know when to walk away

[00:02:46] And know when to run

[00:02:47] You never count your money

[00:02:50] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:53] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:56] When the dealin's done

[00:02:58] You've got to know when to hold 'em

[00:03:01] Know when to fold 'em

[00:03:04] Know when to walk away

[00:03:06] And know when to run

[00:03:08] You never count your money

[00:03:11] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:13] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:16] When the dealin's done
