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 (2)________ (3)__________ 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' what the cards were
By the way (4)________ held (5)__________ eyes.
So if you don't (6)________ my sayin',
I can see you're out of aces,
For a taste of your whiskey,
I'll give you some advice.'
So I (7)____________ him my bottle,
and he drank (8)________ my (9)________ swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet,
And his face lost all expression.
He said, 'If
You're (10)__________ 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 (11)________ 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 (12)__________ gambler knows
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to (13)__________ away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause (14)__________ hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best you can (15)________ for
Is to die in your sleep.'
And (16)________ he finished speakin',
He (17)____________ back (18)____________ the window,
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep.
And (19)__________________ in the darkness,
The gambler he broke even.
And in his final words I found
An ace (20)________ I could keep.
You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know (21)________ to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.
You never count (22)________ 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 (23)________ 'em,
Know (24)________ to fold 'em
Know (25)________ to (26)________ away,
Know when to run.
