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