[Koooddeeey]

To all of those boy who dislike this song,The dislike bar is the size of ur dick ;]

[OJones88]

For any cricket fans who like country music, I attempted putting the 2 together to create this conversation between 2 cricketers:

You've got to know what’s the doosra

Know what’s the slider

Know when to slog sweep

Know when to run

You never check your average

When you're out there in the middle

There'll be time enough for sledging

When the series is won

[rusty6573]

Wise words.

[AbdelMX5]

I heard this in a DVD called DDS and It's quickly becoming my favourite song even though I'm not into country music. Deep as shit :)

[DarkLordYoshi]

I guess 24 people just didn't walk away.....Shame

[shippo72]

I remember driving with my dad in the car and listening to this on the radio, and he would nod throughout the song and say "That's Right". He thought this was the deepest song ever made.

[chevys1967]

yep, know a little about this song .lol

[caliburngreywofl]

Not about gambling. about life.

Gotta play the hand you're dealt, but sometimes even the worst hand can win if you play it right.

Also, don't worry too hard about how you're doing (don't count your money) while you're still living, because you never know when things will change completely.

And of course, you have to realize there's a time to hold on to what is important, and a time to let go of something that's ultimately going to end up screwing you over.

[weealn34]

@caliburngreywofl could not put it better myself

[Charles87sf]

@caliburngreywofl Well put, sir!

[Meddimehell]

@caliburngreywofl

Very good and accurate "translation". It is a song about life,and it has a lot of truth in it.

[Genners111]

@caliburngreywofl Best interpretation I've ever heard!!! Outstanding.

[kelly28031995]

@caliburngreywofl so true!

you've really good at reading people's faces...well more like songs

[livejoker24]

@kelly28031995 It's pretty obvious if you listen to the words...

[TheGator1972]

@caliburngreywofl You nailed it in your explanation so the younger generation can understand that in every older song is a story usually pertaining to Life. Double Kudos

[miestykid]

@caliburngreywofl

pretty damn obvious lmao....

[MrCamideBieber]

@caliburngreywofl muy buena tu traduccion yo lo pense pero no sabia como expresarme muy bueno!!!!!

[MrCBassChin]

@caliburngreywofl .. Nicely put!  :)

[WiseOwlOfGallifrey]

@caliburngreywofl Trite

[DelStrainComedy]

@caliburngreywofl Bang on my brother bang on.

[CKweme]

lol.....good song

[IndiaTravelFilms]

Life's metaphore

[Azaweebe73]

I can't understand what is the secret behind this great song its just like something that i ll never get enough of it.

[96pfaulkner]

he drank down my last swallow

[iloverock1976]

I grew up listening to this song and still love it.

[chav2k10]

CLASSIC IL NEVER GET SICK OF HEARING THIS SONG

[SpecOpsDoctor]

Cool Song right there

[ardalla535]

if every hand's a winner, why do you have to fold em?

[Spurs4Premiership]

@ardalla535 because every hands a loser

[MusicMaster1974]

I tell you what, (you probably hear this a lot on YouTube), yet why can't there be songs such as Kenny Rogers and the First Edition or the likes around now a days. I am 38 this July. I never thought I would say the worlds my parents said when I was into the Shite back in the 90's, yet what in the hell is this shit on the radio today? (And yes there are a HEAPS of great bands around, yet even they have struggled to be still heard (ie Foo's, Nickelback, etc). PEACE... :)

[deathstrike369]

Wait, people disliked this video? I couldn't tell because of all the likes.

[Genners111]

Brilliant song, and Kenny Rogers is Mr. Classy himself!!!

[mrsandreamarie1987]

Seriously why is there a dislike button if you dislike this song then you don't like this genre so don't even vote on it! Love this song!

[harrasoson]

kenny rogers is a great singer!im a proud of you !

[MrsAyuBitch]

FUCK FOR HIS MEN. best ever song just in my country malaysia!! I hate ameica!!

[SteelChampyinz]

they sure don't write em' like this anymore...........

[rebelsushi]

@SteelChampyinz Songs don't tell stories anymore

[SteelChampyinz]

@rebelsushi no, you're right, most don't even make sense that's if you can even make out the lyrics.

[Xiado]

@SteelChampyinz For real. Mostly autotuner tripe with no melody and no skill. Try humming any recent popular song. People would think you're having a fucking seizure.

[SteelChampyinz]

@Xiado LOL!!!

[Smurfbourget]

Great song and entertainer. Kenny is the best.

[wolfacula]

I came here to share this vid to accompany my post about quitting Zing poker. Forgot how much I missed this tune. This man could sing.

[ARCANE0013]

My dad is awesome, they told me about this song, now i love this one just like my dad do it!!!

[samuraievans7]

I prefered the Rock's version to Stone Cold! ;)

[eponine808]

thank you for sharing! great song.

[majkl091]

Czech - Petr Spálený ( Hráč ) ...... Super

[Takomuhra]

Why do people go around disliking videos all the time? Do you seriously have nothing better to do? This is a beautiful song.

[AppleJackGaming]

@Takomuhra Indeed it is. the music my dad bought me up on. But if it dosent have a techie, a rapper or a pre-pubescent kid singing they dont care. Real music is dieing, but it shall never be forgotten by those who know where it all started.

[JPhillips17]

Playing this song at my father's funeral today. RIP dad.

[syborius]

@JPhillips17 sorry for your loss, I lost my father 1 year ago from a heart attack..I feel your pain.

[Misc951]

....it took me forever to know that the old gambler passed away in the middle of the night according to the song

[Misc951]

my memory is of my mom blasting her kenny rogers cd while she did chores around the house this was one of my favorite songs in the whole cd

[1975keegan]

I remember laying on the Couch with my Dad listening to Kenny Rogers, In Memory of my Dad Danny Keegan

[Hollz811]

Kenny fans PLEASE HELP!!! I used to love a Kenny song (back in the ole days) about a guy lying in bed, thinking about how much he loved the woman beside him, not wanting to leave 2 go to work & listening to the sound of the rain on the roof. I CANNOT remember what the song was called... Just my love 4 the song & lyrics, if any of this rings a bell PLEASE respond here or email- hollzar 81@gmail.com

[PinkFloydFan74]

@Hollz811 Can't think of a KR song, but it does sound like one by Bob Seger - can't think of the name of it OTTOMH.

Greatest song ever.

[nancydrew5]

This song is a Creed a lesson that can be applied to most any aspect of one's life whether work, love, play.. The Creed is the TRUTH!

"You gotta 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 sitting at the table, there'll be time enough for countin when the deal is done'.

[henkiis]

[totaler166]

The first minute of this video is watching Kenny Rogers strip.

[eddiewlynch]

@totaler166 Hahahaha.

[MisterEvasion]

Oddly, he is still not in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I am sure he will never be passed over when his name comes up for it. Not that it matters altogether that much either to him or his fans.

[PitchingAcademy]

This brings back just a ton of memories

[jsno313]

Love this classic country. Reminds of when I was a little girl. My parents and aunts,uncles etc...listened to this. Great memories

[Lollymiss1]

I also remember when I was like 7 my parents bought me a record player and one record for Christmas. It was a Kenny Rogers record. On one side there was "The Gambler" on the other side "Lady". I would listen to them over and over and over and over and over...HAHA my poor parents!

[algerar12]

[littlegelland]

This must be one of my all time favourites, but I didn't know there was a video, thanks for showing! I want to go into that bar, or whatever it is, sit down and play some cards with him, and maybe take some edvice on life as well. This is just great.

[kja427]

It saddens me that, in Country Music, Male Vocalists don't do story songs like they used to. This was a story song that made the grade. Nice job, Kenny!

[PayetMotorsport46]

There are times in the love are gained and others it gets lost ... it is the life

[JuNeDiZz1]

CLASSIC!!!!!!

[RpageMPG]

 12 people kept the whiskey

[titaneye]

Somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even...

[jeronimttkd]

even with women its good advice ... "know when to holdem,when to fold'em know when to walk away..and hell yeah know when to run

[spenserrid]

It good advice in any situation.

[BnkWrATMt1ts]

This is actually really solid poker advice. Never count your money (bankroll) at the table, know when to walk away (quit during a losing session/tough table), know when to run (drop down in limits, bankroll management)

[1991mrbigd]

there are ten people who need to be slapped in a bar on a train bound for no where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrismullen1987]

The greatest song ever.
