The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

[00:00.0]The Gambler (Rerecorded) - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)
[00:05.53]On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
[00:11.15]I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep
[00:16.03]So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
[00:21.66]'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
[00:26.6]He said "Son I've made a life out of readin' people's faces
[00:32.35]And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
[00:37.41]So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces
[00:42.85]For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"
[00:49.1]So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
[00:55.48]Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
[01:00.29]And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
[01:05.35]Said "If you're gonna play the game boy you gotta learn to play it right"
[01:10.54]You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
[01:16.79]Know when to walk away and know when to run
[01:21.16]You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[01:26.6]There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
[01:36.36]Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
[01:41.92]Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
[01:46.92]'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
[01:52.259995]And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
[01:57.64]And when he finished speakin' he turned back towards the window
[02:03.51]Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
[02:08.27]And somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even
[02:13.83]But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
[02:18.64]You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
[02:24.77]Know when to walk away and know when to run
[02:29.2]You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[02:34.58]There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
[02:39.77]You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
[02:46.14]Know when to walk away and know when to run
[02:50.45]You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[02:55.95999]There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
[03:01.14]You got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em
[03:07.5]Know when to walk away and know when to run
[03:11.81]You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[03:17.38]There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
