On a G warm summer's evenin' on a C train bound for G nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to D sleep.
So G we took turns a starin' out the C window at the G darkness
'til C boredom over G took us, D and he began to G speak.

Verse 2
He said, G "Son, I've made a life out of C readin' people's G faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their D eyes.
And if G you don't mind my sayin', I can C see you're out of G aces.
For a C taste of your G whiskey I'll D give you some G advice."

Verse 3
So I G handed him my bottle and he C drank down my last G swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a D light.
And the G night got deathly quiet, and his C face lost all exGpression.
Said, "If you're C gonna play the G game, boy, ya gotta D learn to play it G right.

Chorus
You got to G know when to hold 'em, C know when to G fold 'em,
C know when to G walk away and know when to D run.
You never G count Am your G money when you're C sittin' at the G table.
There'll be C time enough for G countin' D when the dealin's G done.

Verse 4
Ev'ry G gambler knows that the C secret to survGivin'
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to D keep.
'Cause G ev'ry hand's a winner and C ev'ry hand's a G loser,
and the C best that you can G hope for is to D die in your G sleep."

Verse 5
And G when he'd finished speakin', he C turned back towards the G window,
...Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to D sleep.
And G somewhere in the darkness the C gambler, he broke G even.
But C in his final G words I found an D ace that I could G keep.
