Kenny Rogers - The Gambler (1978)

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

Know when to fold 'em

Boredom overtook us

Know when to walk away

When to hold 'em

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

You never count your money

So I handed him my bottle

Know when to fold 'em

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

Is to die in your sleep"

Then he bummed a cigarette

You never count your money

For a taste of your whiskey

The gambler - he broke even

Know when to run

you gotta know when to fold 'em

You got to know

And asked me for a light

When to hold 'em

Out of readin' people's faces

And his face lost all expression

You're gonna play the game, boy

You never count your money
