JOHNNY CASH
The Gambler
[ Miscellaneous ]
About twenty years ago
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a starin'
Through the window at the darkness
Till boredom overtook us
And he commenced to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
Out of readin' people's faces
And knowin' what their cards were
By the way they held their eyes
And if you don't mind my sayin'
I would say you're out of aces
And for one taste of your whiskey
I will give you some advice"
So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
Then he bummed a light
The night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
You better learn to play it right
'Cause every gambler knows
That the secret to survival
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep"
And every hand's a winner
Just like every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep
You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You don't ever count your money
While you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin' is done
You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You don't ever count your money
While you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin' is done
And when he finished speakin'
He turned back towards the window
Put out his cigarette
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 don't ever count your money
While you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin' is done
You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You don't ever count your money
While you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin' is done
You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
