The Gambler by Kenny Rogers

On a warm summer's evenin',
On a train bound 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 (1)________________ us,
He (2)__________ to speak.

He said, 'Son, I've made my life
Out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' what the (3)__________ were
By the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't (4)________ 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 (5)________ swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette
And (6)__________ me for a light.
And the (7)__________ got (8)______________ quiet,
And his face lost all expression.
He said, 'If
You're (9)__________ play the game, boy,
You gotta learn to play it right.'

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to (10)________ away,
Know when to run.
You never (11)__________ your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time (12)____________ for countin'
When the dealin's done.

Now every gambler knows
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' (13)________ to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner
And (14)__________ hand's a loser
And the (15)________ 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 (16)______________ he broke even.
And in his final words I found
An ace (17)________ I could keep.

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to (18)________ 'em
Know when to (19)________ away,
Know when to run.
You never (20)__________ your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time (21)____________ for countin'
When the dealin's done.

You've got to know
When to (22)________ 'em,
Know when to (23)________ 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know (24)________ to run.
You never (25)__________ your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time (26)____________ for countin'
When the dealin's done.
