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


Compare the above lyrics to LYRICS OF MAFO! AH DEY WITH YOU.




You mean to compare Diamond with Lagos gutter mud? Thats way too much na!

Chai. This man is also gone. Don Williams died 2 years ago as well.

As a die hard country music fan, I've got quite a lot of his songs, with my favourite being "The Gambler".

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

Play that jam for babe in an Air conditioned room just the two of you

I swear to God she must dey in the mood

There are lessons in his song "the gambler" that I find important to this day, even though I don't gamble but those lessons can be applied to life.

Like this line- "So for a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice"

Lesson 1: Don't desire something valuable if you're not willing to give something valuable in exchange for it.

There are several others I can't go into. Song is filled with lessons:

"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

Every gambler knows
That the secret to surviving
Is knowing what to throw away
And knowing what to keep
Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser"

RIP Kenny Rogers

The best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep

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

In the first verse of the song, he was the one who actually approached the woman grin

Evergreen song but if people listen to the advice Bet9ja and Betking go close.

Those bet9ja n betting are just childsplay. Go to Alamo in Tx or Las Vegas in Nevada where Billions are lost within minutes in Casinos on poka, card and potting.

Where people gamble, prostituting, drink and drug like there is no life after those.

Where u see heavy men Manning the gamble house..

You know when to run,
When to walk away,
And finally when to leave.
Corona grounded all fun park
Event center and even sport.
What is left for an entertainers.
I guest prayers and to live in peace with all men.
RIP great man.

Death is the best thing that happened to humanity.
We don't die,we just change from one state to another,cuz the soul remain the same but only the body decompose in the grave while the soul travel back to is creator to account for the deed in he has done when is in the state of human being.moreso every soul must taste death is either in peace or the other way round.so always do good inorder for your soul to be in peace when leaving your body by the time your reign in this life expired.

Soul don't die.
