  a warm summer's eve
 On  train bound for nowhere
 I met up with the 
 We were  too tired to sleep
 So we took turns 
 Out the window  the darkness
 The boredom overtook us, he  to speak
 
 He said, "Son, I've made  life
  of readin' people's faces
 Knowin' what the cards 
  the way they held their eyes
 So if you don't mind my 
 I can see you're out  aces
 For a taste of  whiskey
  give you some advice"
 
  I handed him my bottle
 And  drank down my last swallow
 Then he  a cigarette
 And asked  for a light
 And the  got deathly quiet
 And  faced lost all expression
 He said, "If you're gonna play the game, 
 You gotta  to play it right
 
 You've  to know when to hold 'em
  when to fold 'em
 Know when  walk away
 Know  to run
 You never  your money
 When you're sittin' at the 
 There'll be time enough for 
 When the dealin's 
 
 Every gambler knows
 That the secret  survivin'
 Is  what to throw away
 And knowin' what  keep
 'Cause  hand's a winner
 And every  a loser
  the best that you can hope for
 Is  die in your sleep"
 
 And when he  speakin'
 He  back toward the window
 Crushed out his 
 And  off to sleep
 And  in the darkness
 The gambler  broke even
  in his final words
 I found an ace that I could 
 
 You've got to know when to hold 
 Know when to  'em
 Know  to walk away
 And  when to run
 You never  your money
  you're sittin' at the table
 There'll be time enough for 
 When  dealin's done
 
 You've got to know  to hold 'em
 (When  hold 'em)
 Know when  fold 'em
  to fold 'em)
 Know when to  away
 And know when to 
 You never count  money
  you're sittin' at the table
 There'll  time enough for countin'
  the dealin's done
 
 You've  to know when to hold 'em
 Know  to fold 'em
 Know when to walk 
  know when to run
 You never count  money
 When  sittin' at the table
  be time enough for countin'
  the dealin's done
