RIP

He'll be missed

The Gambler
Coward of The County.

Damn this man R.I.P i love his songs then..

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us
I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all
She was a beauty
But when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I could'nt hold her
'Cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

Rest on legend!

I can't stop weeping for your demise

Everyone considered him a Coward of the County... Awwww. Rest in Peace Kenny Rogers.

Old legend that know what music is about not these illiterate marlians and gbe body junks

I swear.

Dolly Parton will miss you most.

Everybody forming I knew him���
Nobody wan carry last for here.

Oh. My old sweet Kenny Roger .

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. I will never forget your classic hits like The Gambler, Coward of the County, Don't fall in love with a dreamer etc.

God please watch over Dolly Parton too o!

Rest in peace Kenny Rogers. It was just yesterday i watched 'we are the one' again. I really loved his part.

The gambler i so so love.

Wow so this is the guy that sang that gambler song, I knew him but I didn't know he sang the song. Been looking for his name for years. This is a true legend not all this rubbish gracing our television nowadays.

bdsm:
Don Williams gone, Kenny Rogers gone, Dolly Parton...

The links between old country music of 1950s and modern country music are passing away.

Dolly Patton is still alive... Their generation is ending.

He said Merry Christmas only 81 times. Life is not as long as we think

RIP legend

my favorite of his song

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 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 me 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
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

And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward 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

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

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

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

Corpee hand pasteee

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 sitting at the table

There'll be time enough for counting

When the deal is done

I so much love old school songs

Rest in peace Kenny Rogers. I had a great memory of you in my days in school. My roommate Sam introduced me to country music. My favorites include Lucille, Coward of the county and the gambler.

Slimranky:
Omg this man is a true legend I remember how my dad and grand pa loved playing his tracks, his collaborations with dolly parton
"Islands in the stream" rocked my soul

A lot of new generation kids on Nairaland I bet won't know this man...

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world..

R I P Kenny. The man with a sweet golden voice. We shall miss you

Bolowolowo:
RIP. I remember when he came to Abuja for a one night performance in 1982. Good times.

Nassooo! MO ki yi oo, my parents never even meet that time sef... Choi

Awwnnn so sad. RIP.
My love for country music.

I like and listen to more of Don Williams. These are legends of country music.

His most interesting songs I like are
I believe in love especially that part where he said,

�the Superman and robin hood
Are still alive in Hollywood�
Da da da da da da da da�
Sometimes I wonder who I am

Cos I believe in love�
I believe in old folks�
�I believe in mum and dad�
�I believe in you.�

COVID-19 has killed my man

Rest on Cowboy!


Country music just got depleted of a resource!

#The # Gambler

Rip Kenny Rogers

who can tell us his country home?
I don't know him. uncle kenny ronger ! you've answered unavoidable call. may God have mercy on you.

Gamblers will miss him.

NwaAmaikpe:





My only memory of him is him smiling while singing next to Dolly Parton's massively voluminous megaboobs.

I never even noticed him there. I was always concentrated on those megastructures.

Real music icons are dying out. We are now stuck with filth, incomprehensible lyrics and toneless beats.

Don Williams last year now Kenny Rogers. Sad!

COWARD OF THE COUNTY

That got me

COVID-19 on my mind
