 D                           G              D
One  summer's evenin, on a train bound for Georgia
 G              D               G                  A
met up with a gambler, We were both too tired to sleep.
   D                                 G              D
So we took turns to steer, out the window at the darkness
       G          D             A           D
till boredom over-took us then he began to speak.

He said, Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces          
knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin' 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 doen my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got a little quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said If you're gonna play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it
right.

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