《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler - Johnny Cash

[00:00:08] About twenty years ago

[00:00:10] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:13] I met up with The Gambler

[00:00:15] We were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:18] So we took turns a starin'

[00:00:20] Through the window at the darkness

[00:00:23] 'Til boredom overtook us

[00:00:26] And he commenced to speak

[00:00:29] He said 'Son I've made a life

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

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

[00:00:37] By the way they held their eyes

[00:00:39] And if you don't mind my sayin'

[00:00:42] I would say you're out of aces

[00:00:44] And for one taste of your whiskey

[00:00:47] I will give you some advice'

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

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

[00:00:55] Then he bummed a cigarette

[00:00:58] Then he bummed a light

[00:01:01] The night got deathly quiet

[00:01:03] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:04] He said 'If you're gonna play the game boy

[00:01:08] You better learn to play it right'

[00:01:12] 'Cause ev'ry gambler knows

[00:01:14] That the secret to survival

[00:01:17] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:19] And knowin' what to keep

[00:01:22] And ev'ry hand's a winner

[00:01:24] Just like ev'ry hand's a loser

[00:01:27] And the best that you can hope for

[00:01:29] Is to die in your sleep

[00:01:32] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:01:35] Know when to fold 'em

[00:01:37] Know when to walk away

[00:01:40] Know when to run

[00:01:42] You don't ever count your money

[00:01:44] While you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:46] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:49] When the dealin' is done

[00:01:51] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:01:54] Know when to fold 'em

[00:01:56] Know when to walk away

[00:01:59] Know when to run

[00:02:01] You don't ever count your money

[00:02:03] While you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:06] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:08] When the dealin' is done

[00:02:16] And when he finished speakin'

[00:02:18] He turned back t'ward the window

[00:02:21] Put out his cigarette

[00:02:23] Faded off to sleep

[00:02:26] And somewhere in the darkness

[00:02:28] The gambler he broke even

[00:02:31] But in his final words

[00:02:33] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:35] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:38] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:41] Know when to walk away

[00:02:43] Know when to run

[00:02:45] You don't ever count your money

[00:02:48] While you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:50] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:52] When the dealin' is done

[00:02:55] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:58] Know when to fold 'em

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

[00:03:02] Know when to run

[00:03:04] You don't ever count your money

[00:03:07] While you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:09] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:11] When the dealin' is done

[00:03:14] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:03:16] Know when to fold 'em

[00:03:19] Know when to walk away

[00:03:21] Know when to run

[00:03:23] You don't ever count your money

[00:03:26] While you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:28] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:30] When the dealin' is done
