The Gambler by Kenny Rogers

On a warm summer's evenin',
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler.
We (1)________ both too (2)__________ to sleep.
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness.
When boredom (3)________________ us,
He began to speak.

He said, 'Son, I've made my life
Out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' (4)________ the (5)__________ were
By the way they (6)________ their eyes.
So if you don't (7)________ 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 (8)__________ (9)________ my last swallow.
Then he (10)____________ 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 gotta learn to (11)________ it right.'

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know (12)________ to walk away,
Know when to run.
You (13)__________ (14)__________ your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.

Now (15)__________ (16)______________ knows
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to (17)__________ away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the (18)________ you can (19)________ for
Is to die in (20)________ sleep.'

And (21)________ he finished speakin',
He turned back (22)____________ 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 (23)__________ 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 never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time (24)____________ for countin'
When the dealin's done.

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