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

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

When to hold 'em

You never count your money

So I handed him my bottle

You never count your money

Know when to fold 'em

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

Then he bummed a cigarette

Is to die in your sleep"

For a taste of your whiskey

The gambler - he broke even

you gotta know when to fold 'em

Know when to run

When to hold 'em

And asked me for a light

You're gonna play the game, boy

You never count your money

Out of readin' people's faces

You got to know

And his face lost all expression
