The Gambler by Kenny Rogers
On a warm summer's evenin',
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up (1)________ the gambler.
We (2)________ both too tired to sleep.
So we took (3)__________ a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness.
When boredom overtook us,
He began to speak.
He said, 'Son, I've (4)________ my life
Out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' (5)________ the (6)__________ were
By the way they held (7)__________ eyes.
So if you don't (8)________ my sayin',
I can see you're out of aces,
For a (9)__________ of (10)________ whiskey,
I'll give you some advice.'
So I handed him my bottle,
and he drank (11)________ my (12)________ 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 gonna play the game, boy,
You (13)__________ learn to play it right.'
You've got to know
When to (14)________ 'em,
Know (15)________ to fold 'em
Know when 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 (16)__________ (17)______________ knows
The (18)____________ to survivin'
Is knowin' (19)________ to throw away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner
And (20)__________ hand's a loser
And the best you can hope for
Is to die in (21)________ sleep.'
And when he (22)________________ speakin',
He (23)____________ 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've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.
You (24)__________ count 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 (25)________ to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.

When you're sittin' at the table.
