THE GAMBLER    (RR 281)  WADE DRIVER

OPENER



Circle Left
ON A WARM SUMMER'S EVENING, ON A TRAIN BOUND FOR NOWHERE
MET UP WITH A GAMBLER, WE WERE BOTH TOO TIRED TO SLEEP
LEFT ALLEMANDE THAT CORNER, COME HOME A DOSADO NOW
LEFT ALLEMANDE THE CORNER AND WEAVE AROUND THE RING
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, WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AT THE TABLE
THERE'LL BE TIME ENOUGH FOR COUNTIN, WHEN THE DEALIN'S DONE

FIGURE



HEADS SQUARE THRU IN THE MIDDLE AND YOU GET FOUR HANDS YOU GO NOW
DO SA DO THE CORNER, IT’S ONCE AROUND YOU KNOW
TOUCH A QUARTER THEN, SCOOT BACK ON ACROSS THERE
CAST OFF THREE QUARTER BY THE RIGHT AND THEN THE BOYS YOU TRADE
YOU SPIN THE TOP FOR ME, BOYS MOVE UP AND SLIDE THRU
SWING THAT CORNER BOY, AND THEN YOU PROMENADE
YOU NEVER COUNT YOUR MONEY, WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AT THE TABLE
THERE'LL BE TIME ENOUGH FOR COUNTIN, WHEN THE DEALIN'S DONE

MIDDLE BREAK



Circle Left
HE SAID "SON I'VE MADE A LIFE OUT OF READIN PEOPLES FACES
AND KNOWIN WHAT THEIR CARDS WERE BY THE WAY THEY HELD THEIR EYES
LEFT ALLEMANDE THAT CORNER, COME HOME A DOSADO NOW
LEFT ALLEMANDE THE CORNER AND WEAVE AROUND THE RING
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, WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AT THE TABLE
THERE'LL BE TIME ENOUGH FOR COUNTIN, WHEN THE DEALIN'S DONE

CLOSER



Circle Left
SO WHEN HE FINISHED SPEAKIN, HE TURNED BACK TOWARD THE WINDOW
CRUSHED OUT HIS CIGARETTE AND FADED OFF TO SLEEP
LEFT ALLEMANDE THAT CORNER, COME HOME A DOSADO NOW
LEFT ALLEMANDE THE CORNER AND WEAVE AROUND THE RING
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, WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AT THE TABLE
THERE'LL BE TIME ENOUGH FOR COUNTIN, WHEN THE DEALIN'S DONE
