《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - Studio Musicians

[00:00:07] On a warm summer's evenin'

[00:00:09] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:12] 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] Out the window at the darkness

[00:00:23] 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak

[00:00:28] He said

[00:00:29] "Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:35] And knowin' what their cards were

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

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

[00:00:42] 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

[00:00:55] And he drank down my last swallow

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

[00:01:01] And asked me for a light

[00:01:03] And the night got deathly quiet

[00:01:06] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:08] Said "If you're gonna play the game boy

[00:01:11] You gotta learn to play it right"

[00:01:14] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:01:17] Know when to fold 'em

[00:01:20] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:01:25] You never count your money

[00:01:28] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:31] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:34] When the dealing's done

[00:01:41] Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

[00:01:46] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:49] And knowing what to keep

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

[00:01:54] And every hand's a loser

[00:01:57] And the best that you can hope for is

[00:02:00] To die in your sleep

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

[00:02:06] He turned back towards the window

[00:02:09] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:11] And faded off to sleep

[00:02:14] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler

[00:02:16] He broke even

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

[00:02:24] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:27] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:31] Know when to walk away

[00:02:33] And know when to run

[00:02:35] You never count your money

[00:02:38] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:41] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:44] When the dealing's done

[00:02:46] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:50] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:53] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:57] You never count your money

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

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

[00:03:06] When the dealing's done

[00:03:08] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:03:12] Know when to fold 'em

[00:03:15] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:03:20] You never count your money

[00:03:23] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:25] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:28] When the dealing's done
