[Verse 1] On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a starin' 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 And 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 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" [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away and 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 speakin' He turned back towards the window Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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, 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
Let me leave this comment here in 2024, 30th of August 3:53 am in China. I just had a big fight with my girlfriend and it’s this song that is my consolation. Know when to walk away and know when to run. This is not the time to run. I’ll stay and keep telling lies 😂😂😂😂😂😂 PS: I’m not cheating but she’s digging into the past and I’m protecting her from things what would hurt her. So please let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone 😂😂. Nja kumulimba mpaka last

On a warm summer's evening On a train bound for nowhere I met up with the gambler We were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a-starin' Out the window at the darkness The boredom overtook us And he began to speak He said, "Son, I've made a life Out of readin' people's faces Knowin' what the 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 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've 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 dealin's done Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' 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"
Bob Marley performed on our Independence day April 18 1980, he wrote a song for Zimbabwe.The connection is eternal, Since then every major reggae artist has been to Zim and we love it. Gregory Isaacs, Buju Shabba Bennie Morgan Heritage the lot,That connection is eternal.
