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-starin'
Out the window
at the darkness
The boredom
overtook us
And
he
began to
speak
He said
'Son
I've
made
a life
Out 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 saying
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
And
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 dealing's done
Every gambler
knows
That
the secret to
survivin'
Is
knowin'
what
to
throw away
And
knowin'
what to keep
'Cause
every hand's a winner
And
every hand's
a
loser
And
the best
that
you can
hope
for
Is
to
die
in
your
sleep'
And
when
he finished
speakin'
He
turned back
toward the
window
Crushed out
his cigarette
And
faded off
to sleep
And
somewhere
in the darkness
The
gambler
he
broke even
And
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
And
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 dealing's done
You've got to
know
when to hold
'em
When to hold
'em
Know
