Busy Signal - The Gambler Lyrics
The Gambler
Hmm... ohhh... hmmhmm... ohh... yeeeah... hothead!
On a warm summer's evenin
On a train bound for nowhere
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns to stairrin out the window at the darkness
Till boredom over took us and he begun to speak
He said 'son I've made a life, out of readin peoples faces
And knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of aces
For the taste of your whisky, I'll give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow
And the night dark gettin quiet, and his face lost all expression
Said 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 em
Know when to walk away, know when to run
You never count your money while sitting at the table
They will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving
Is knowing what to throw in and knowing what to keep
Cause every hand's a winner, and every hands a looser
And the best that you can hope for is to dyin to sleep
And when he finished speaking
He turned back towards the window
Crushed down his cigarette, faded off to sleep and somewhere in the darkness the
Gambler, he broke even but in his final words I found
A message I could keep
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 while sitting at the table
They will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
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 while sitting at the table
They will be time enough for counting when the deal is done
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 while sitting at the table
They will be time enough for counting when the deal is done

Originally by Kenny Rodgers... but Busy signal did best.
Justmove Up 2020
A 2020 now.
Nice 2019
Love this song but he should not have used so much pitch correction (auto tune) when he obviously can sing. I can hear that he can sing. Maybe not perfect but it's better than using pitch correction. It's not false without just more real if you know what I mean. I like it better when the artists show their own voice instead of trying to perfect it like Bob Dylan and Lou Reed.
Really sweetest music
Who still listening 2019
