The Gambler - Die Campbells

[00:00.0]The Gambler - Die Campbells
[00:10.35]On a warm summer's evenin'
[00:12.89]On a train bound for nowhere
[00:15.63]I met up with the gambler
[00:17.96]We were both too tired to sleep
[00:20.65]So we took turns a starin'
[00:23.26]Out the window at the darkness
[00:25.9]Till boredom overtook us
[00:28.79]And he began to speak
[00:30.69]He said Son I've made a life
[00:33.39]Out of readin' people's faces
[00:36.15]And knowin' what their cards were
[00:38.48]By the way they held their eyes
[00:40.86]So if you don't mind my sayin'
[00:43.62]I can see you're out of aces
[00:46.05]For a taste of your whiskey
[00:48.76]I'll give you some advice
[00:52.49]So I handed him my bottle
[00:55.09]And he drank down my last swallow
[00:58.39]Then he bummed a cigarette
[01:00.48]And asked me for a light
[01:02.78]And the night got deathly quiet
[01:05.28]And his face lost all expression
[01:07.71]Said If you're gonna play the game
[01:09.55]Boy you better learn to play it right
[01:12.66]You got to know when to hold them
[01:16.1]Know when to fold them
[01:18.69]Know when to walk away
[01:21.17]And know when to run
[01:22.729996]You never count your money
[01:25.729996]When you're sittin' at the table
[01:27.87]There'll be time enough for countin'
[01:31.29]When the dealing's done
[01:37.96]Every gambler knows
[01:39.89]That the secret to survivin'
[01:42.54]Is knowin' what to throw away
[01:45.06]And knowing what to keep
[01:47.619995]'Cause every hand's a winner
[01:50.04]And every hand's a loser
[01:52.55]And the best that you can hope for
[01:54.630005]Is to die in your sleep
[01:57.630005]And when he finished speakin'
[02:00.29]He turned back towards the window
[02:03.37]Crushed out his cigarette
[02:05.5]And faded off to sleep
[02:07.95]And somewhere in the darkness the gambler
[02:11.31]He broke even
[02:13.08]But in his final words
[02:14.93]I found an ace that I could keep
[02:17.77]You got to know when to hold them
[02:21.27]Know when to fold them
[02:23.81]Know when to walk away
[02:26.36]Know when to run
[02:28.07]You never count your money
[02:30.85]When you're sittin' at the table
[02:33.07]There'll be time enough for countin'
[02:36.53]When the dealing's done
[02:38.13]You got to know when to hold them
