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

[00:00:02] Written by：Schiltz

[00:00:10] On the warm summer's eve on a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:16] I met up with a gambler we were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:21] So we took turns starin' out window at the darkness

[00:00:26] Till boredom overtook us and he commenced to speak

[00:00:31] He said son I made a life out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:37] And knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes

[00:00:42] And if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:47] And for a taste of your whiskey I would give you some advice

[00:00:54] So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow

[00:01:00] Then he'd bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

[00:01:05] And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression

[00:01:10] He said if you gonna play the game boy

[00:01:13] You gotta learn to play it right

[00:01:16] You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up

[00:01:22] Know when to walk away 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 dealin's done

[00:01:42] He said every gambler knows that the secret to survival

[00:01:47] Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep

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

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

[00:02:02] When he finished speaking he turned back to the window

[00:02:08] Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep

[00:02:13] Somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even

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

[00:02:24] You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up

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

[00:02:34] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:40] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done

[00:02:45] You gotta know when to hold up know when to fold up

[00:02:51] Know when to walk away know when to run

[00:02:55] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:01] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done

[00:03:06] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done

[00:03:11] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
