[00:00:00] The Gambler - Jigs

[00:00:01] Written by：D. Schultz

[00:00:05] On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:10] I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:16] So we took turns a staring out the window at the darkness

[00:00:21] Till boredom overtook us and he began to speak

[00:00:26] He said son I've made a life out of reading people's faces

[00:00:32] And knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes

[00:00:37] So if you don't mind my saying I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:42] For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice

[00:00:49] So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow

[00:00:55] Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

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

[00:01:05] Said if you're gonna play the game boy

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

[00:01:10] You got to know when to hold them know when to fold 'em

[00:01:16] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:01:21] You never count your money when you're sitting at the table

[00:01:26] There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done

[00:01:36] Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving

[00:01:41] Is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep

[00:01:46] 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser

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

[00:01:57] And when he finished speaking he turned back towards the window

[00:02:03] Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep

[00:02:08] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even

[00:02:13] But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:18] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

[00:02:24] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:29] You never count your money when you're sitting at the table

[00:02:34] There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done

[00:02:39] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

[00:02:46] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:50] You never count your money when you're sitting at the table

[00:02:55] There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done

[00:03:01] You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em

[00:03:07] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:03:11] You never count your money when you're sitting at the table

[00:03:17] There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done
