[00:00:01] Written by：John Rich/Charlie Pennachio/Chris Chin/Cristy Barber/Raymond Barber

[00:00:12] On a warm summer's evenin'

[00:00:15] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:17] I met up with the gambler

[00:00:20] We were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:23] So we took turns to stairrin' out the window at the darkness

[00:00:28] Till boredom over took us

[00:00:32] And he begun to speak

[00:00:34] He said son I've made a life

[00:00:37] Out of readin' peoples faces

[00:00:40] And knowing what their cards were

[00:00:42] By the way they held their eyes

[00:00:45] So if you don't mind me saying

[00:00:48] I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:51] For the taste of your whisky

[00:00:53] I'll give you some advice

[00:00:57] So I handed him my bottle

[00:01:00] And he drank down my last swallow

[00:01:04] And he bummed a cigarrete

[00:01:06] And asked me for a light

[00:01:08] And the night dark gettin' quiet

[00:01:11] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:14] Said if you gonna play the game

[00:01:16] Boy you gotta learn to play it right

[00:01:19] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:01:23] Know when to fold 'em

[00:01:25] Know when to walk away

[00:01:28] Know when to run

[00:01:30] You never count your money while sitting at the table

[00:01:35] They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done

[00:01:46] Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving

[00:01:51] Is knowing what to throw in and knowing what to keep

[00:01:56] 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hands a looser

[00:02:02] And the best that you can hope

[00:02:04] For is to dyin' to sleep

[00:02:07] And when he finished speaking

[00:02:10] He turned back towards the window

[00:02:14] Crushed down his cigarette faded off to sleep

[00:02:18] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler

[00:02:22] He broke even but in his final words I found

[00:02:27] A message I could keep

[00:02:29] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:33] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:36] Know when to walk away

[00:02:38] Know when to run

[00:02:40] You never count your money while sitting at the table

[00:02:46] They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done

[00:02:51] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:02:55] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:58] Know when to walk away

[00:03:00] Know when to run

[00:03:02] You never count your money while sitting at the table

[00:03:08] They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done

[00:03:13] You got to know when to hold 'em

[00:03:17] Know when to fold 'em

[00:03:20] Know when to walk away

[00:03:22] Know when to run

[00:03:24] You never count your money while sitting at the table

[00:03:30] They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done
