Kenny Rogers - The Gambler Lyrics and Video

"The Gambler" Lyrics (Kenny Rogers)

On a warm summers evening on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a staring out the window at the darkness,
til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, son, I've made a life, out of reading people's faces,
and knowing what their cards were, by the way they held their eyes.
So if you dont mind my saying, I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice.

So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if you're gonna play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away, and know when to run.
You never count your money, when you're sitting at the table.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done.

Now every gambler knows, that the secret to surviving.
Is knowing what to throw away, and knowing what to keep.
Cause every hands a winner, and every hands a loser,
and the best that you can hope for, is to die in your sleep.

So when hed finished speaking, he turned back towards the window.
Crushed out his cigarette, and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words, I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em,
Know when to walk away, and know when to run.
You never count your money, when you're sitting at the table.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done.

You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em,
Know when to walk away, and know when to run.
You never count your money, when you're sitting at the table.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done.
