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