《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - Country Big Band

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

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

[00:00:12] I met up with the gambler

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

[00:00:17] So we took turns a starin'

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

[00:00:22] When boredom overtook us

[00:00:25] 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

[00:00:36] By the way they held their eyes

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

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

[00:00:44] For a taste of your whiskey

[00:00:47] 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

[00:00:57] 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

[00:01:07] Said if

[00:01:07] He gonna play the game boy

[00:01:10] You gotta learn to play it right

[00:01:12] You've got to know

[00:01:13] When to hold

[00:01:16] Know when to fold 'em

[00:01:19] Know when to walk away

[00:01:21] Know when to run

[00:01:23] That count your money

[00:01:26] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:28] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:01:32] When the dealer's done

[00:01:39] Every gambler knows

[00:01:41] The secret to survivin'

[00:01:44] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:46] And knowin' what to keep

[00:01:49] 'cause every hand's a winner

[00:01:51] And every hand's a loser

[00:01:54] And the best that you can hope for

[00:01:57] Is to die in your sleep

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

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

[00:02:05] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:08] Faded off to sleep

[00:02:10] Somewhere in the darkness

[00:02:13] The gambler he broke even

[00:02:16] But in his final words I found

[00:02:18] An ace that I could keep

[00:02:21] You've got to know

[00:02:22] When to hold

[00:02:24] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:27] Know when to walk away

[00:02:30] Know when to run

[00:02:31] You never count your money

[00:02:34] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:37] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:40] When the dealer's done

[00:02:42] Got to know

[00:02:43] When to hold

[00:02:46] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:48] Know when to walk away

[00:02:51] Know when to run

[00:02:52] You never count your money

[00:02:55] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:58] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:01] When the dealer's done

[00:03:03] You've got to know

[00:03:04] When to hold 'em

[00:03:07] Know when to fold 'em

[00:03:09] Know when to walk away

[00:03:12] Know when to run

[00:03:14] You never count your money

[00:03:17] When you're sittin' at the table
