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

Know when to walk away

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

You never count your money

Then he bummed a cigarette

Is to die in your sleep"

So I handed him my bottle

Know when to fold 'em

You never count your money

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

Know when to run

For a taste of your whiskey

you gotta know when to fold 'em

The gambler - he broke even

And his face lost all expression

You got to know

Out of readin' people's faces

You're gonna play the game, boy

You never count your money

And asked me for a light

When to hold 'em
