What are the lyrics to Kenny rogers gambler?

Answer 1

on a warm summer's evening' on a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler we were both too tired to sleep so we took turns a staring' out the window at the darkness 'till boredom overtook us and he began to speak he said "Son I've made my life out of Reading' people's faces and knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. Now if you don't 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 he said "If you're gonna play the game boy you gotta learn to play it right You've 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 while you're sitting at the table they'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 hand's a winner and every hand's a loser and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep" So when he'd finished speaking he turned back towards the window crushed out his cigarettes and faded off to sleep then somewhere in the darkness the gambler he broke even in his final words "I found an Ace that I can keep You've got to know when to hold 'em know when to fold 'em to know when to walk away and know when to run you never count your money when you're sitting' at the table they'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done you got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em) know when to fold 'em (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 they'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done
