[00:00:01] The Gambler (Live) - Johnny Hansen

[00:00:02] Written by：Don Schlitz

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

[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

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

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

[00:00:22] The boredom overtook us he began to speak

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

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

[00:00:34] Knowin' what the cards were

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

[00:00:39] So if you don't mind me sayin'

[00:00:42] 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

[00:00:51] So I handed him my bottle

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

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

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

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

[00:01:05] And his faced lost all expression

[00:01:08] If you're gonna make a play game

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

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

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

[00:01:20] Know when to walk away

[00:01:23] Know when to run

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

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

[00:01:30] There'll be time enough for countin'

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

[00:01:41] Every gambler knows

[00:01:43] That the secret to survivin'

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

[00:01:49] And knowin' what to keep

[00:01:51] '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

[00:01:59] Is to die in your sleep

[00:02:03] And when he finished speakin'

[00:02:05] He turned back toward 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

[00:02:17] The gambler he broke even

[00:02:19] And in his final words

[00:02:21] I found an ace that I could keep

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

[00:02:28] Know when to fold 'em

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

[00:02:34] And know when to run

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

[00:02:39] When you're sittin' at the table

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

[00:02:45] When the dealin's done

[00:02:47] You've got to know when to hold 'em

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

[00:02:51] Know when to fold 'em

[00:02:52] When to fold 'em

[00:02:53] Know when to walk away

[00:02:56] And know when to run

[00:02:58] You never count your money

[00:03:01] When you're sittin' at the table

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

[00:03:07] When the dealin's done

[00:03:09] You've got to know when to hold 'em

[00:03:13] Know when to fold 'em

[00:03:16] Know when to walk away

[00:03:18] And know when to run

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

[00:03:24] When you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:26] There'll be time enough for countin'

[00:03:30] When the dealin's done
