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

Know when to walk away

When to hold 'em

You never count your money

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

Is to die in your sleep"

Then he bummed a cigarette

Know when to fold 'em

You never count your money

So I handed him my bottle

Know when to run

The gambler - he broke even

you gotta know when to fold 'em

For a taste of your whiskey

Out of readin' people's faces

And his face lost all expression

When to hold 'em

You got to know

You never count your money

And asked me for a light

You're gonna play the game, boy
