---------------- Come over to the window my little darling I'd like to try to read your palm I used to think I was some sort of before I let you take me home Chorus: So long, Marianne. It's time we began To laugh, and cry, and cry, And laugh about it all again Well you know that I love to live with you But you make me forget so very much I forget to pray for the angels And then the angels forget to pray for us Chorus: So long, Marianne. It's time we began To laugh, and cry, and cry, And laugh about it all again Oh, you're really such a pretty one I see you've gone and changed your name again And just when I climbed this whole mountainside To wash my eyelids in the rain Chorus: So long, Marianne. It's time we began To laugh, and cry, and cry, And laugh about it all again So long, Marianne. It's time we began... fade

On a warm summer's eve 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 my 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 faced lost all expression He 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 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 Now every gambler knows 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" So when he finished speakin' He turned back for the window Crushed out his cigarette And faded off to sleep then somewhere in the darkness The gambler he broke even, But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep You've 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 When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done You've 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 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 You've 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 When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done
