《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - DJ Otzi

[00:00:05] On a warm summer's evenin' 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

[00:00:17] So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness

[00:00:22] 'Til boredom overtook us 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] And knowin' what their cards were

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

[00:00:39] 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

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

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

[00:00:54] And he drank down my last swallow

[00:00:57] Then he bummed a cigarette

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

[00:01:02] And the night got deathly quiet

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

[00:01:07] Said "If you're gonna play the game

[00:01:10] Boy you gotta learn to play it right"

[00:01:13] You got to know when to hold 'em

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

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

[00:01:21] And know when to run

[00:01:23] You never count your money

[00:01:27] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:01:29] There'll be time enough for countin'

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

[00:01:40] Every gambler knows that

[00:01:42] The secret to survivin'

[00:01:45] Is knowin' what to throw away

[00:01:47] And knowing what to keep

[00:01:50] 'Cause every hand's a winner

[00:01:53] Every hand's a loser

[00:01:56] And the best

[00:01:57] That you can hope for is to die in your sleep

[00:02:01] And when he finished speakin'

[00:02:03] He turned back towards the window

[00:02:07] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:09] And faded off to sleep

[00:02:12] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler

[00:02:16] He broke even

[00:02:18] But in his final words

[00:02:20] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:23] You got to know when to hold 'em know

[00:02:26] When to fold 'em

[00:02:28] Know when to walk away

[00:02:32] And know when to run

[00:02:34] You never count your money

[00:02:37] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:02:40] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:02:42] When the dealing's done

[00:02:45] You got to know when to hold 'em know

[00:02:49] When to fold 'em

[00:02:51] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:02:56] You never count your money

[00:02:59] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:02] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:04] When the dealing's done

[00:03:07] You got to know when to hold 'em know

[00:03:11] When to fold 'em

[00:03:13] Know when to walk away and know

[00:03:17] When to run

[00:03:18] You never count your money

[00:03:21] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:23] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:26] When the dealing's done
