Kenny Rogers - The Gambler слова песни
On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep So we took turns at staring out the window at the darkness The 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 the cards were, by the way they held their eyes So if you don`t mind my sayin`, 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 Chorus: 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 sittin` at the table There`ll be time enough for countin`, when the dealin`s done Every gambler knows that the secret to survive is Knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep `Cos every hand`s a winner and every hand`s a loser And the best that you can hope for is that I end asleep And when he finished speakin`, he turned back for the window Crushed out the cigarette, 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 chorus repeats 3x
