The Gambler by Kenny Rogers

On a warm summer's evenin',
On a train (1)__________ for nowhere
I met up with the gambler.
We were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness.
When boredom overtook us,
He began to speak.

He said, 'Son, I've made my life
Out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' (2)________ the cards were
By the way they (3)________ their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin',
I can see you're out of aces,
For a taste of (4)________ whiskey,
I'll give you some advice.'

So I handed him my bottle,
and he (5)__________ down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette
And (6)__________ me for a light.
And the night got (7)______________ quiet,
And his face lost all expression.
He said, 'If
You're (8)__________ play the game, boy,
You gotta (9)__________ to play it right.'

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know (10)________ to walk away,
Know (11)________ 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 knowin' (12)________ to throw away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner
And (13)__________ hand's a loser
And the best you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep.'

And when he finished speakin',
He (14)____________ back toward the window,
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness,
The gambler he (15)__________ even.
And in his final (16)__________ I found
An ace that I could keep.

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to (17)________ away,
Know when to run.
You never (18)__________ your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to (19)________ 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know (20)________ to run.
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time (21)____________ for countin'
When the dealin's done.
