Kenny Rogers - The Gambler (1978)

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

Know when to fold 'em

Boredom overtook us

When to hold 'em

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

Know when to walk away

You never count your money

Then he bummed a cigarette

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

You never count your money

So I handed him my bottle

Is to die in your sleep"

Know when to fold 'em

The gambler - he broke even

For a taste of your whiskey

you gotta know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

And asked me for a light

You never count your money

Out of readin' people's faces

You got to know

You're gonna play the game, boy

When to hold 'em

And his face lost all expression
