On a warm summer's evenin'
on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a starin'
out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us
and he began to speak
Chorus
You got to know when to hold 'em
know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
know when to run
You never count your money
when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
when the dealing's done
