  • On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
    I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
    So we took turns a-staring out the window at the darkness
    The boredom overtook us, and he began to speak
    He said, son I've made my life out of reading people's faces
    And knowing what the cards were by the way they held their eyes
    So if you don't mind my sayin', 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, you gotta learn to play it right
    You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away, know when to run
    You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done

    Now, every gambler knows, the secret to survivin'
    Is knowing what to throw away, knowing what to keep
    'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
    And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep
    So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back toward the window
    Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
    Then 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 never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done
    You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
    Know when to walk away, know when to run
    You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done
