Kenny Rogers - The Gambler (1978)

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

Know when to fold 'em

Boredom overtook us

Gotta know when to hold 'em And when to fold 'em

When to hold 'em

Know when to walk away

You never count your money

So I handed him my bottle

He said, "Son, I've made a life

Then he bummed a cigarette

Know when to fold 'em

You never count your money

Is to die in your sleep"

Know when to run

The gambler - he broke even

For a taste of your whiskey

you gotta know when to fold 'em

And asked me for a light

And his face lost all expression

You got to know

Out of readin' people's faces

You never count your money

You're gonna play the game, boy

When to hold 'em
