About 20 years ago, on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with The Gambler; We were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' through the window at the darkness.
Til' boredom overtook us and he commenced to speak.
He said: andquot;Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
andquot;And knowin' what their cards were, by the way they held their eyes.
andquot;And if you don't mind my sayin', I would say you're out of aces;
andquot;And for one taste of your whiskey, I will give you some advice.andquot;
So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette; then he bummed a light.
The night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression.
He said: andquot;If you're gonna play the game, boy, you better learn to play it right.andquot;
andquot;'Cos ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survival,
andquot;Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.
andquot;And ev'ry hand's a winner, just like ev'ry hand's a loser.
andquot;And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
andquot;You got to know when to hold 'em; know when to fold 'em.
andquot;Know when to walk away; know when to run.
andquot;You don't ever count your money while you're sittin' at the table.
andquot;There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin' is done.andquot;
andquot;You got to know when to hold 'em; know when to fold 'em.
andquot;Know when to walk away; know when to run.
andquot;You don't ever count your money while you're sittin' at the table.
andquot;There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin' is done.andquot;
And when he finished speakin', he turned back t'ward the window.
Put out his cigarette; faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
andquot;You got to know when to hold 'em; know when to fold 'em.
andquot;Know when to walk away; know when to run.
andquot;You don't ever count your money while you're sittin' at the table.
andquot;There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin' is done.andquot;
andquot;You got to know when to hold 'em; know when to fold 'em.
