On a warm summer′s evening

On a train bound for nowhere

I met up with a gambler

We were both too tired to sleep

So we took turns a-staring

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 faces

Knowing what the cards were

By the way they held their eyes

So if you don′t mind my saying

I can see you′re out of aces

For a taste of your whiskey

I'll give you some advice"

So I handed him my bottle

And he drank down my last swallow

Then he bummed a cigarette

And asked me for a light

And the night got deathly quiet

And his face lost all expression

Said, "If you′re gonna play the game, boy

You gotta learn to play it right"

You got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold ′em

Know when to walk away

And 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

Every gambler knows

That the secret to surviving

Is knowing what to throw away

Knowing what to keep

′Cause every hand's a winner

And every hand′s a loser

And the best that you can hope for

Is to die in your sleep

And when he finished speaking

He turned back toward the window

Crushed out his cigarette

And faded off to sleep

And somewhere in the darkness

The gambler, he broke even

And in his final words

I found an ace that I could keep

You got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold ′em

Know when to walk away

And 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

You got to know when to hold ′em (when to hold 'em)

Know when to fold ′em (when to fold 'em)

Know when to walk away

And 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

You got to know when to hold ′em

Know when to fold ′em

Know when to walk away

And 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

歌手介紹

Kenny Rogers

Kenneth Donald Ray Rogers (August 21, 1938 – March 20, 2020) was an American country music singer-songwriter. Rogers was particularly popular with country audiences, but also charted more than 120 hit singles across various genres, topping the country and pop album charts for more than 200 individual weeks in the United States alone. He sold more than 100 million records worldwide during his lifetime, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. His fame and career spanned multiple genres—jazz, folk, pop, rock, and country. He remade his career and was one of the most successful cross-over artists of all time. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013. In the late 1950s, Rogers began his recording career with the Houston-based group the Scholars, who first released "The Poor Little Doggie". After some solo releases, including 1958's "That Crazy Feeling", Rogers then joined a group with jazz singer Bobby Doyle. In 1966, he became a member of the folk ensemble the New Christy Minstrels, playing double bass and bass guitar, as well as singing. In 1967, several members of the New Christy Minstrels and he left to found the group the First Edition, with whom he scored his first major hit, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)", a psychedelic rock song, which peaked at number five on the Billboard charts. As Rogers took an increased leadership role in the First Edition following the success of 1969's "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town", the band gradually changed styles to a more country feel. The band broke up in 1975–76, and Rogers embarked on a long and successful solo career, which included several successful collaborations, including duets with singers Dottie West, Dolly Parton, and Sheena Easton, and a songwriting partnership with Lionel Richie. His signature song, 1978's "The Gambler", was a crossover hit that won him a Grammy Award in 1980, and was selected in 2018 for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. He developed the Gambler persona into a character for a successful series of television films starting with 1980's Emmy-nominated Kenny Rogers as The Gambler. Rogers's albums The Gambler and Kenny were featured in the About.com poll of "The 200 Most Influential Country Albums Ever". He was voted the "Favorite Singer of All Time" in a 1986 poll by readers of both USA Today and People. He received numerous awards, such as the American Music, Grammy, Academy of Country Music, and Country Music Association awards, as well as a lifetime achievement award for a career spanning six decades in 2003. His later successes included the 2006 album release Water & Bridges, an across-the-board hit that entered the top five in the Billboard Country Albums sales charts, also charting in the top 15 of the Billboard 200. The first single from the album, "I Can't Unlove You", was also a sizable chart hit. Remaining a popular entertainer around the world, he continued to tour regularly until his retirement in 2017. Rogers had acting roles in movies and television shows, including the title roles in Kenny Rogers as The Gambler, the MacShayne series for The NBC Mystery Movie, and the 1982 feature film Six Pack. He was a co-founder of the restaurant chain Kenny Rogers Roasters in collaboration with former KFC CEO John Y. Brown Jr. Although the stores closed in the United States, they are still a fixture in Asia.
