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

Then he bummed a cigarette

Is to die in your sleep"

So I handed him my bottle

Know when to fold 'em

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

You never count your money

you gotta know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

For a taste of your whiskey

The gambler - he broke even

You got to know

Out of readin' people's faces

You never count your money

You're gonna play the game, boy

And his face lost all expression

And asked me for a light

When to hold 'em
