Current song lyrics
On a warm summers evenin'<br />on a train bound for nowhere,<br />I met up with the gambler;<br />we were both too tired to sleep.<br />So we took turns a starin<br />out the window at the darkness<br />til boredom overtook us,<br />and he began to speak.<br /><br />He said, son, I've made a life<br />out of readin peoples faces,<br />And knowin' what their cards were<br />by the way they held their eyes.<br />So if you dont mind my sayin,<br />I can see you're out of aces.<br />For a taste of your whiskey<br />I'll give you some advice.<br /><br />So I handed him my bottle<br />and he drank down my last swallow.<br />Then he bummed a cigarette<br />and asked me for a light.<br />And the night got deathly quiet,<br />and his face lost all expression.<br />Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy,<br />ya gotta learn to play it right.<br /><br />You got to know when to hold em,<br />know when to fold em,<br />Know when to walk away<br />and know when to run.<br />You never count your money<br />when you're sittin at the table.<br />There'll be time enough for countin<br />when the dealins done.<br /><br />Now every gambler knows<br />that the secret to survivin<br />Is knowin what to throw away<br />and knowing what to keep.<br />Cause evry hands a winner<br />and every hands a loser,<br />And the best that you can hope for<br />is to die in your sleep.<br /><br />And when he'd finished speakin,<br />he turned back towards the window,<br />Crushed out his cigarette<br />and faded off to sleep.<br />And somewhere in the darkness<br />the gambler, he broke even.<br />But in his final words I found<br />an ace that I could keep.<br /><br />You got to know when to hold em,#<br />know when to fold em,<br />Know when to walk away<br />and know when to run.<br />You never count your money<br />when you're sittin at the table.<br />There'll be time enough for countin<br />when the dealins done.

On a warm summers evenin'<br />on a train bound for nowhere,<br />I met up with the gambler;<br />we were both too tired to sleep.<br />So we took turns a starin<br />out the window at the darkness<br />til boredom overtook us,<br />and he began to speak.<br /><br />He said, son, I've made a life<br />out of readin peoples faces,<br />And knowin' what their cards were<br />by the way they held their eyes.<br />So if you dont mind my sayin,<br />I can see you're out of aces.<br />For a taste of your whiskey<br />I'll give you some advice.<br /><br />So I handed him my bottle<br />and he drank down my last swallow.<br />Then he bummed a cigarette<br />and asked me for a light.<br />And the night got deathly quiet,<br />and his face lost all expression.<br />Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy,<br />ya gotta learn to play it right.<br /><br />You got to know when to hold em,<br />know when to fold em,<br />Know when to walk away<br />and know when to run.<br />You never count your money<br />when you're sittin at the table.<br />There'll be time enough for countin<br />when the dealins done.<br /><br />Now every gambler knows<br />that the secret to survivin<br />Is knowin what to throw away<br />and knowing what to keep.<br />Cause evry hands a winner<br />and every hands a loser,<br />And the best that you can hope for<br />is to die in your sleep.<br /><br />And when he'd finished speakin,<br />he turned back towards the window,<br />Crushed out his cigarette<br />and faded off to sleep.<br />And somewhere in the darkness<br />the gambler, he broke even.<br />But in his final words I found<br />an ace that I could keep.<br /><br />You got to know when to hold em,#<br />know when to fold em,<br />Know when to walk away<br />and know when to run.<br />You never count your money<br />when you're sittin at the table.<br />There'll be time enough for countin<br />when the dealins done.
