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 (1)________ too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness.
When (2)______________ (3)________________ us,
He (4)__________ to speak.

He said, 'Son, I've made my life
Out of readin' people's faces.
Knowin' what the cards were
By the way they (5)________ their eyes.
So if you don't mind 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 last swallow.
Then he (6)____________ a cigarette
And asked me for a light.
And the (7)__________ got deathly quiet,
And his face lost all expression.
He said, 'If
You're gonna play the game, boy,
You gotta (8)__________ to (9)________ 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 never (11)__________ your money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be (12)________ (13)____________ for countin'
When the dealin's done.

Now every gambler knows
The secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner
And (14)__________ hand's a loser
And the best you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep.'

And (15)________ he finished speakin',
He (16)____________ 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 (17)__________ I found
An ace that I could keep.

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to (18)________ 'em
Know (19)________ to (20)________ away,
Know (21)________ to run.
You (22)__________ 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 (23)________ 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to (24)________ away,
Know when to run.
You (25)__________ count (26)________ money
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.
