《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - Pickin' On Series

[00:00:06] On a warm summer's evening

[00:00:08] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:11] I met up with the gambler

[00:00:14] We were both too tired to sleep

[00:00:16] So we took turns a starin'

[00:00:19] Out the window at the darkness

[00:00:22] The boredom overtook us

[00:00:25] And he began to speak

[00:00:27] He said Son I've made a life

[00:00:30] Out of readin' people's faces

[00:00:33] Knowin' what the cards were

[00:00:35] By the way they held their eyes

[00:00:38] So if you don't mind me sayin'

[00:00:41] I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:43] For a taste of your whiskey

[00:00:46] I'll give you some advice

[00:00:50] So I handed him my bottle

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

[00:00:56] Then he bummed a cigarette

[00:00:59] And asked me for a light

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

[00:01:04] And his faced lost all expression

[00:01:06] He said

[00:01:06] If you're gonna play the game boy

[00:01:09] You gotta learn to play it right

[00:01:11] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:01:15] Know when to fold them

[00:01:18] Know when to walk away

[00:01:20] And know when to run

[00:01:22] You never count your money

[00:01:25] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:27] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:31] When the dealin's done

[00:01:57] Every gambler knows

[00:02:00] That the secret to survivin'

[00:02:02] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:02:05] And knowin' what to keep

[00:02:08] Cause every hand's a winner

[00:02:10] And every hand's a loser

[00:02:13] And the best that you

[00:02:14] Can hope for is to die

[00:02:16] In your sleep

[00:02:18] And when he finished speakin'

[00:02:21] He turned back toward the window

[00:02:24] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:26] And faded off to sleep

[00:02:29] And somewhere in the darkness

[00:02:31] The gambler he broke even

[00:02:34] But in his final words

[00:02:36] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:39] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:02:42] Know when to fold them

[00:02:45] Know when to walk away

[00:02:48] And know when to run

[00:02:49] You never count your money

[00:02:52] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:55] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:58] When the dealin's done

[00:03:00] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:03:04] Know when to fold them

[00:03:06] Know when to walk away

[00:03:09] And know when to run

[00:03:10] You never count your money

[00:03:13] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:16] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:19] When the dealin's done

[00:03:21] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:03:25] Know when to fold them

[00:03:27] Know when to walk away

[00:03:30] And know when to run

[00:03:31] You never count your money

[00:03:34] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:37] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:40] When the dealin's done
