Karaoke Track: Gambler by Kenny Rogers (Monster Hits) - Karaoke Nerds

On a warm

Summesz evenin'
On a train bound
For nowhere

I met Up wiih
A gambler

We were both
Too fired to sleep

So we took
Turns a-sforin'

Ouf the window
At the darkness

He said, son,
I've made 0 life

Ouf of readin'
People's faces

And knowin' what
The cards were

By the way they
Held their eyes

So if you don't
Mind my soyin'

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

Ya 90110 learn
To play it right

'Cause you got to

Know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em

You never count
Your money

When you're siiiin'

At the to b le

There'll be time

Enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Every gambler knows

Thai ihe secret
To survivin'

Is knowin' what
To throw away

And knowin' what

To keep

'Cause every
Hand's a winner

And every ha nd's

A loser

And the best that

You can hope for
Is to die in your sleep

And when he'd
Finished speakin'

He turned back
Toward the window

Crushed out
His cig a reite

And faded 0H
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

'Cause 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 siiiin'

At the to b le

There'll be time

Enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

'Cause 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 siiiin'

At the to b le

There'll be time

Enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

'Cause 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 siiiin'

At the to b le

There'll be time

Enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
