Busy Signal – The Gambler Lyrics
Busy Signal – The Gambler Lyrics
The GamblerHmm, oh, hmm, hmm, oh, yeah… hothead!
On a warm summer’s evenin’On a train bound for nowhereI met up with the gamblerWe were both too tired to sleepSo we took turns to starin’ out the window at the darkness‘Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
He said son I’ve made a life, out of readin’ people’s facesAnd knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyesSo if you don’t mind me saying, I can see you’re out of acesFor the taste of your whisky, I’ll give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallowAnd he bummed a cigarette, and asked me for a lightAnd the night dark gettin’ quiet, and his face lost all expressionSaid if you gonna play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it right
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’emKnow when to walk away, know when to runYou never count your money while sittin’ at the tableThere will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin’Is knowing what to throw in and knowing what to keep‘Cause every hand’s a winner, and every hands a looserAnd the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleepAnd when he finished speakingHe turned back towards the windowCrushed down his cigarette, faded off to sleepAnd somewhere in the darkness, the Gambler, he broke evenBut in his final words I found a message I could keep
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’emKnow when to walk away, know when to runYou never count your money while sittin’ at the tableThere will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’emKnow when to walk away, know when to runYou never count your money while sittin’ at the tableThere will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’emKnow when to walk away, know when to runYou never count your money while sittin’ at the tableThere will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
