"The Gambler" is a song written by Don Schlitz, recorded by several artists, most famously by American country music singer Kenny Rogers.
Blake Tollison Shelton (born June 18, 1976) is an American country singer and television personality. In 2001, he made his debut with the single "Austin". The lead-off single from his self-titled debut album, "Austin" spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The now Platinum-certified debut album also produced two more top 20 entries ("All Over Me" and "Ol' Red").

Lyrics :
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
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
Now, 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"
So when he'd finished speakin'
He turned back towards the window
Crushed out his cigarette
An' 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
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 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
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
Very good job blake 😘💙
Great Job Blake..
Grrrrreat job Blake!!!
Very, very good!!! 👍
Who sang the original I'm a gambling man it's quicker to spend your time rather than spend my own hope you have the time to reply.
NO ONE will ever replace Kenny. But Blake did awesome with this song.
he did
Nice
RIP Kenny.
So true
I had kenny rodgers song straight before this almost a perfect match.
Who's watching this after The legend of country music Kenny Rogers passed away. As much as I will always love Kenny's version I must say Blake did a good job.
Ilhaney 95 Blake is that good and this version is the best
Me
A very good one even
Indeed he did
Blake is the king, but Kenny will always be the ace!
BEAUTIFULLY said! 👌
BEAUTIFULLY said! 👌
❤
George Strait was and IS STILL KING!
In my opinion the greatest country song of all time
BooneVille yes
BooneVille I use to think so but then I listen to
George Strait Amarillo by morning and realized just how narrow and confined my world was
Evan Boone hfj
Yep !!
I absolutely LOVE this version!
Blake Shelton has got the right voice for the Gambler Country song
Blake is as good as anyone not named Kenny Rogers. He can't hit the depths Kenny can plumb, but it's a good facsimile.
Great Song 👍🎤🤠🎸
Super Musik 👍🎤🤠🎸
Blake sings it well. However, NOBODY could ever sing it better then kenny. He owned The Gambler.
Almost always the first is the best. In fact I can only think of two that weren't
True!
Although this sounds really good!
I love that Blake didn't try to change it, to make it his own, but sang it the way it was meant to be sang. Love it!!
This just proves what I've always said about Blake right from the beginning. If anybody could sing anyone's songs, it's Blake Shelton. He nailed this Kenny Rogers classic, nailed the Elvis classic, Suspicious Minds; Kenny Loggins classic, Footloose; amongst others. Great job, Blake. Love it. :)
NO ONE will ever replace Kenny EVER there is only one KENNY ROGERS
OMG Blake is so good with anything he sings. This is one of my favorites, so HANDSOME.
He's good but can'g do Willie
@@harrythehammer ciao Harry!🙋😍😘💘🍀
@@willockrudger6710ciao amico! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
They don’t make these timeless country hits anymore.
We lost the legend Kenny rogers
No cell phones out, nobody ruining the show. Just a bunch of good people purely enjoying the music. RIP kenny
Why record on your phone when you can just rewatch after on UA-cam.
Coz in some shows you sign a contract not to coz of copyright
Even us non-Country Music fans miss Kenny today.

Beautiful job there Blake. We used that song at my father’s funeral.
This man could fill a stadium
And in his final words... I found Aces. Yes I did Dad. The very first song I remember hearing with you and 40 plus years later in our final days together this song played for the both of us, and I realized it was never about a poker player, but about a son and father's relationship. I will hold the aces tight dad. Thank you and love you.
My grandmother loves Kenny Rogers songs rip both of you
No one can sing this song like Kenny but Blake was in fire with this song
Amazing!! But...still Kenny kills!!
🎯 Exacto
Kenny you are the Gambler FOREVER...♥️
Best cover of the song i've heard.👏
Blake? You sing like I would love to,..lucky bugger.🎵🎶🎶Kenny would be proud of you. Sing on...
Mad respect for attempting such a great song. He pulled it off extremely well. Absolutely loved it.
He did the song Justice...Awesome!
A brilliant tribute to the late Kenny Rodgers.
This is just as great as Kenny Rogers!
“Knowin what to throw away, and what to keep”. Words to live by!!
Hello, how are you doing?
I always enjoy what you share here on UA-cam but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. how are you feeling today.🤩💯
@@oscarlandrum thank you, that was very kind! I don’t chat much on here! I just happen to be a music lover, it is my first love! Hope you are having a lovely day!
@@sherrieventi125 oh that very good to know. If I may ask where are you from..?
@@oscarlandrum I don’t give out personal info on here! Have a great night!
Singers have a tendency to change songs to fit their style, which (more often than not) destroys the song. It's a breath of fresh air to see him sing it like it should be. Nice rendition!
This is awesome blake can sing anything i know he made kenny Roger's proud amen 🙏 💯
Blake did this song justice
Never thought a cover of this song could ever do it justice.
I stand corrected
Wilton Burger you’re talking about Blake Shelton here....he makes every cover song sound much better
Kenny will always be the top; but this is an excellent tribute
Blake shelton el jugador.kenny rogers❤❤
Blake and Keith are the only 2 people that have done the song on Kenny’s level!
and Keith Urban
@@dunjakasanda5933 he said Blake n Keith 😑
Discovered Home Free singing it the other day, they are well worth listening to, here on You Tube
Kenny Rogers would be proud of this cover of his song. Blake did it great.
He probably is proud. You do know he is still alive right?
Murtha Man Not as of today. RIP Kenny Rogers.
@@ceciliaramos2280 wth I just started to get into his music

This song and every country song is very easy for Blake....he’s to good.....you should listen to his cover of “She talks to Angels” or the duet with Christina Aguilera “Just a Fool “ or even some of his mega smash hits....he’s to good

Kenny is the man at this song but Blake did a good job
I just like Blake . such wonderful gentleman
My dear Kenny Rogers no one ever will replace you in country musics...
RIP Kenny. This is great tribute to legend ❤️

His performance was spotless. Just perfection.👏❤
You're looking pretty.. how're you doing?

You nailed .. master
Lord I ❤️ this guy
Just impeccable. Bravo Blake!
I always enjoy what you share here on UA-cam but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. how are you feeling today.🤩💯
This is the Blake Shelton I remember “Cowboy Hat” and his hair ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Heaven didn't gain an angel, they gained a legend. Rest In Peace Kenny ❤️🙏
Not many people have the gift of singing someone else's song and make it sound good, but Blake has the talent like a few select singers.
I do believe this version is just as good as the original from '78. And that's kind of hard to do. Taking a classic that most ALL country fans know the words to and delivering it with the same grace and warmth that Kenny did way back when. Good job Blake! Good job indeed.
Actually, Kenny was a cover too. Bobby Bare put out the first and best version, then Johnny Cash, bothering before Kenny Rogers.
Blake is fine as it gets
Kenny would be proud!
He did a great job of Kenny’s song. That extra twang.
👍🏻
Kenny R.I.P 🙏
GREAT JOB BLAKE
Good cover
I grew up on the Kenny Rogers version and Blake Shelton did an excellent job
Blake Shelton is one of the best country singers :-)
Rest easy Kenny.. Thanks for the music, your legacy will live on!
Wow. Sounds and looks great
Wow! It can sing anything! He’s so handsome..❤️❤️❤️
I always enjoy what you share here on UA-cam but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. how are you feeling today.🤩🤩
Good tribute to Kenny rogers

I can agree to this, true. But good one this is, too🙂
