The Gambler by Kenny Rogers

On a warm summer's evenin',
On a train (1)__________ for nowhere
I met up (2)________ the gambler.
We were (3)________ too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness.
When (4)______________ overtook us,
He began to speak.

He said, 'Son, I've made my life
Out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' (5)________ the cards were
By the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin',
I can see you're out of aces,
For a (6)__________ of your whiskey,
I'll (7)________ you some advice.'

So I handed him my bottle,
and he drank down my (8)________ 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 (9)__________ learn to play it right.'

You've got to know
When to (10)________ 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.
You (11)__________ (12)__________ 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' (13)________ to throw away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause (14)__________ hand's a winner
And (15)__________ hand's a loser
And the best you can (16)________ 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 gambler he broke even.
And in his final words I found
An ace that I (17)__________ keep.

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

You've got to know
When to (20)________ 'em,
Know when to (21)________ 'em
Know when to (22)________ away,
Know (23)________ to run.
You (24)__________ count (25)________ money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be (26)________ enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.
