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

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

So I handed him my bottle

Know when to fold 'em

Is to die in your sleep"

Then he bummed a cigarette

You never count your money

you gotta know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

The gambler - he broke even

For a taste of your whiskey

And his face lost all expression

And asked me for a light

You never count your money

Out of readin' people's faces

When to hold 'em

You're gonna play the game, boy

You got to know
