Kenny Rogers - The Gambler songtekst
Je score:
On a warm summers evenin' On a train bound for no where I met up with the gambler we were both too tired to sleep So we took turns to starrin' out the window at the darkness 'till boredom overtook us and he began to speak He said sun I make my life out of readin' peoples faces Knowin' what the cards were by the way they held their eyes So if you don't mind me sayin' I can see your out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice So I handled him my bottle And he drink down my last swallow Then he bumped a cigarette and asked me for a light And the night got deadly quiet and his face lost all expression He said if you 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 know when to run You never count your money When your sittin' at the table There'll time enough for countin' When the dealin's done Now every gambler knows the secret to survivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep 'Cause every hands a winner and every hands a loser The best you can hope for is to die in your sleep So when he finished speekin' He turned back for 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 know when to run You never count your money When your sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done You got to know when to hold'em know when to fold'em Know when to walk away know when to run You never count your money When your sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done
