Key: G major
Verse 1
on a train bound to nowhere,
Met up with a gambler,
we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turn a -staring,
out a window where the darkness,
The boardner overtook us.
And he began to speak, he said,
son I've made a life,
Out of reading people's faces,
So if you don't mind my saying,
D
G
I can see you're out of aces
So I handed him my bottle,
and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette,
and his face lost all expression
Said, if you're gonna play the game,
know when to fold it
Know when to walk away,
when you're sittin' at a table
Won't there be time in our account
D
G
when the deal is done?
Every gambler knows that
a secret to surviving
is knowing what to throw away,
every hand's a loser,
and the best that you can hope for
he turned back for the winnow
Crushed out his cigarette,
the gambler he broke even
And in his final words
D
G
I found the names that I will keep
You gotta know where to hold him
Know when to fall him
Know when to walk away
When you're sitting at a table
There'll be time enough for counting

You gotta know when to hold it,

know when to walk away,

There'll be time enough for countin'

You gotta know where to hold them,

know where to follow them,
know when to walk away,

There'll be time enough for counting
know when to follow it,
know when to walk away,
when you're sitting at a table.
There'll be time enough for counting
