Heard about your passing this morning. You were a gift from God to the world. I know you are with heavenly choir now. You made me fall in love with country music growing up, after about over four decades, your music still mean the world to me. Rest in paradise Kenny Rogers. I will miss you and I know the world will miss you as well.
Dean O Donnell Very true! I’ve learnt over the years that beliebers just say all this stuff to make them feel better, or imagine they’ve done something productive.
To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
I can almost breath this with one of my earliest memories. I was a child with my grandfather driving on an old dirt road in an old ford truck. A nice fall evening with the windows down, sun falling. .22 in the back looking for snowshoe hare with this song playing.
..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 And in his final words I found An ace that I could keep.🎼 Another Legend has faded off to sleep. Rest in Peace
Brilliant lyrics! The old gambler a hustler he makes sure he gets his last smoke n swig of whiskey before he gives him the best advice ever. But it wasn’t free advice! I love wee things like that! & the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep! He broke even!
OH yes, he was always & always will be my fav country singer! My daughter is a classical pianist but she plays every one of his songs whenever I visit & she knows the words to all his songs better than I do!!! May he RIP
I come from a military family. We would come home when my father had leave and listen to Kenny Rogers, Alabama & the Oakridge Boys on the trip. I know every word to every song of yours. Thank you Kenny.
Sounds like my childhood. My father particularly loved Alabama, those guys could really play. Back when country music was right in the sweet spot of time it had developed and still tremendous respect for what came before them. I listen to modern country and shake my head. Classics like these get better over time...

I woke up this morning to learn of this legend's passing. Kenny Rogers was an amazing artist, he surpassed limits and was an icon not just of country music, but all things Americana. He is one of those few who had "IT.". I saw him performed in 2016 and when he sang The Gambler I sobbed. I felt so lucky to have heard that performance live. Mr. Rogers, with your talent, your advice, your example, your patriotism, your songs, you gave this could try so much. Thank you for so many memories and lessons. May you rest in peace. I hope as you showed your last hand you remembered that beyond your family you were loved and respected by countless fans across the world.
"You either do what everyone else is doing and you do it better, or you do what no one else is doing and you don't invite comparison." -Kenny Rogers. Rest now you ol' gambler.
Exactly! You never count your money when you are sitting at the table. Once you know the One who wrote the rules, follow them and give Him everything, He will let you say how you're going to play the game. Draw or stud, 5 0r 7 cards, what's wild etc. Just remember, you are a dead man walking, you never play for keeps! Break even!
Eulnglidis curbani Pois essa linda música cantada por Kenny Rogers que eu amo as músicas dele sou apaixonada Eu também ofereço todos os guitarristas de todos os países pois ela é tocada na guitarra é linda mas de novo vocês tudo tocando som e guitarra a música de Kenny Rogers O que significa que vocês guitarristas estão sendo aplaudidos de pé pela natureza a qual vocês toca o instrumento a qual foi retirado dela e pelas obras a qual o criador fez nós
Back in 1985, listening to the radio my mother heard his voice, and after the song when his name was announced my mother knew the name she wanted for her son. I love my name, and I feel honored to have been named after such a great singer. Rest in peace Kenny. Thank you.
My mom and my auntie her twin sister both had the biggest crush on Kenny Rogers. and we're like Mama how you going to like that white man. Fast forward now Im playing it in my garage loud and my kids are like turn that off dad. RIP to the legend Kenny Rogers thank you for all the great memories 🙏
@@stopurcrying1671 - when we are young, we are dumb. As we age, we start to appreciate things. I would be embarrassed to listen to this with my mom and dad on our road trips But as I aged, I play this on my road trips.
A couple of days ago my dad’s best mate & very close family friend had his funeral, this was the closing song. He was like a second father to me… every time I hear this song I think of him. RIP Richard.
As a young child in war torn Beirut in the 70 s. My teenage brother listened to Kenny relentlessly on his cassette player. I used to listen and dream of going to the states. My dream came true in 1984 when Senator John Glenn wrote the immigration a recommendation letter in support of my application for a student visa. I am a proud American living in England now, old and grey with 3 kids and 2 grandkids and owe everything to the late Senator Glenn and Kenny Rogers may they both rest in God s own company for here are 5 lives doing ok thanks to them.....
When I was 18 years old, my boyfriend (who is now my husband) was getting ready to deploy overseas. The night before he left, he took me into his living room then put on this song and danced me around his living room while he sang it to. Many, many years later, the best man at our wedding sang that song for our bride and groom dance. It's been 30 years and two kids and that is still one of my favorite memories. ...................................... It nearly broke my heart when I learned Kenny Rogers passed away . , Kenny, you meant more to the world than I think even you knew. Thank you for the memories.💖
"The gambler, he broke even" I love that sentiment as a metaphor for death. It's like in the movie the Green Mile, Brutus tells Percy: "He's paid what he owed, he's square with the house again." after the execution of Arlen Bitterbuck. Some people look at it as euphemisms and newspeak but the sentiment behind lines such as these is quite lovingly poetic.

I cannot listen to this song without sobbing like a child. RIP, Gambler. I got to see him in Austin on his last tour. He had just gone through a knee replacement, but he still sounded amazing. I saw a legend. How lucky was I?
So sad to hear about Kenny Rogers. He taught me how to know when to hold'em, fold'em, when to walk away, know when to run. To never count my money at the table, and that there was plenty of time for countin' when the dealings done.#KennyRogersRIP
So sad. My 6 year old daughter loves this song among other hits of his and were all sad that a legend is gone. Grateful that he left us these wonderful songs/memories
This is one of those songs you know your whole life and never think too much about it. But then one day, something in you changed and it’s suddenly gospel.
I agree but I think it's more like one day you start paying bills and becoming responsible for other people too and then you get it. Hell, then you're the gambler too.
Why I've always cherished this song is because it's a message that everyone, at times, needs to follow. Be aware of what and who's around you, knowing that your daily life is a gamble. It's a game where you have confidence in yourself, know when to evaluate yourself, learn to accept and trust others, run away from fear but towards what you feel is your calling. Give yourself faith and do your best, self evaluate, and finally... balance! I find it a message on how to live the life you've been dealt. This will always be a gamble. Play your cards right!
May Kenny Rogers rest in peace, He died possibly knowing he helped everyone's life just with this song. So in return, we can at least honor him and take this songs lesson to heart. Agreed?
This song is not just about gambling, its about life. Rest on Sir Rogers. Your songs make more sense to me now as a full grown adult working and paying bills.
I wish modern Country singers could take notes from guys like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, & Kenny.... Kenny was & always will be an old school country OG! RIP🙏🏻
Rest In peace the "Gambler" we surely have lost the greatest country singer of all time. You will forever be missed Kenny. We love you always. You live in our hearts forever. Edit: Sending my condolences from East Africa.
I understand. This song reminds me of my pops lost him a lil year ago... Man how i miss him... What i wouldn't give to hear him cuss me out or take his belt to my backside. 😊 that crazy old sob wss old school... They will always be with us. 😉
Great song, music is life as they say, when you are happy or in a good mood, you dance to the sound of the music, but when you are sad, you listen to the lyrics.

My husband passed away last year. We would dance to this. Now that he is gone, I can still feel his arms around me as I dance alone in my living room where we once danced together. What a life we shared. His birthday would have been July 6th. God I miss him.
First the "gambler" wanted a swig of his whiskey for some "free" advice, then he bummed a cigarette, then he needed a lighter (that I guarentee he pocketed) I don't think this guy was a gambler at all, sounds more like a slick talking GD con artist to me, I swear I know a dude just like that named Lonzo. It was probably him.
This was my mom's favorite song. I always liked it, but it took on completely new meaning after she passed. Battling with kidney failure, crippling arthritis in every joint, among other issues, she made the decision to stop her dialysis and enter hospice. She was an incredible woman with a completely unconquerable spirit. She taught me how to love unconditionally and how be a total badass. Play the cards you've been dealt, not the ones you wish you'd been dealt. Play them as best you can, and win as many hands as you are able. Know when your cards are not likely to bring victory, and take those losses in stride. And, at the end of it all, know when it is time to count your chips and excuse yourself from the table. She lived those ideals every day of her life, right up until the last. She went out on her own terms, not those dictated by her situation, and she did so knowing how loved she was, and how much she meant to everyone that ever knew her. Her wallet wasn't overly full, but her stack of chips was piled to the moon. I hope she's having fun with Kenny up there.
RIP Kenny Rogers - He knew when to hold 'em, he knew when to fold 'em. He knew when to walk away, and he knew when to run. He never counted his money while sitting at the table. Now he has time enough for counting, 'cause the dealing's done.

34 years ago in 5th grade. I sent a letter to Kenny. He sent me a 12x 12 picture signed. I still have it to this day. He's LEGEND🥰🥰 Rest in peace, Mr. Rogers. Your contributions to the art will never die.❤❤❤
This is one of the tough parts of getting older: Watching your favorite childhood entertainers pass-away. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for the many years of great music.
That is what my dad said today. He is 72 and I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, all these great country singers, because of my dad.
I agree 100%. Losing musicians, actors, athletes, all the people who've entertained me throughout my life makes me realize I'm getting older when they pass on. I'm 52 and feel the same as you. Sometimes I feel like I'm living on borrowed time and I'm just existing until my time is up. I feel like my best days are behind me. At the same time, I'm grateful for everyday and try not to take it for granted. I thank God every morning and night for every day he gives me. R.I.P. Kenny!!
My dad used to play this song in the house and in the car. I understand the song so much more now, at 39. It got me so emotional. ❤ I’m still a papa’s girl, so grateful to have him in my life. 🥰
I friend told me about this song while discussing investment decisions. Few months later the friend has gone to heaven! Every time I am listen to the song, it reminds me of him and make me emotional! Timeless song!!
My husband would turn this song on, look at me and hold out his hand and we would slow dance to it. He was dying of COPD...about 3 weeks before he passed, he turned it on one more time. I looked at him, helped him up from his chair and he literally hung on me, as he was too weak to stand on his own anymore and we shared...one...last...dance. RIP, Robbie...I love you.
I've lost loved ones...the best of them go too soon it seems. Believe me, he got more out of this life meeting you, knowing you and having you, and more in his last days than most can ever hope for. Rest in Peace....indeed.
The message in this song is Immortal.. a massage from a gambler that affects our day-to-day life, *Taking Risk* knowing when to hold on and when to fold yourself for every way got a winner and a loser... Take your Risk in life right... RIP Kenny
Millennials and Post-Millennials under COVID-19 lockdowns, get ready for a Kenny Rogers Music Festival. your parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents are in mourning, LISTEN TO THE LYRICS WELL, you might learn a thing or two about life. we sure did. We love Kenny Rogers. He truly decorated our lives.
This song was a regular part of our music festivals over the years. I think this was the first song I knew all the lyrics to as a kid.. 3 years old and I could put my own vinyl on. Still have my original copy. It's always been special to me but so much more today. One of my long time music hero's died last night.. I was actually visiting with one of my friends about our musical influences from childhood and this was one of the album's we were talking about.. and right at the time of his passing too. "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."

Why I've always cherished this song is because it's a message that everyone, at times, needs to follow. Be aware of what and who's around you, knowing that your daily life is a gamble. It's a game where you have confidence in yourself, know when to evaluate yourself, learn to accept and trust others, run away from fear but towards what you feel is your calling. Give yourself faith and do your best, self evaluate, and finally... balance!
I find it a message on how to live the life you've been dealt. This will always be a gamble. Play your cards right!
And pick your battles wisely as well
This is my mothers song
Amen
You just answered my question in LA thank u aha
Good lad
The greatest country western star of all time! His music will outlive him a hundred years!
"But in his final words I found an Ace that I could keep"
those words are from his songs o!!?
May Kenny Rogers rest in peace, He died possibly knowing he helped everyone's life just with this song. So in return, we can at least honor him and take this songs lesson to heart. Agreed?
Oo
It's too gangstah for the casinos.
The words of this song a a life philosophy
Here from Army Of The Dead. The song sold me on the movie. RIP Kenny
Hell yeah, bro. Same here. Saw the trailer about 15 min ago and now I'm here

This song is not just about gambling, its about life. Rest on Sir Rogers. Your songs make more sense to me now as a full grown adult working and paying bills.
Rest In Peace Kenny. With the crap that’s going on in the world I’m thinking this song should be pretty popular

Jace Jackson yessir
so right .. well said .. he will be missed !
You got that right. Most of the good ones are gone sadly.
No one will fill his shoes. He’s a treasure
I wish modern Country singers could take notes from guys like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, & Kenny.... Kenny was & always will be an old school country OG! RIP🙏🏻
Drake Doud I couldn’t agree more!!
Modern country ain’t country boss! It’s out there, it just isn’t on the radio!!!

Rest In peace the "Gambler" we surely have lost the greatest country singer of all time. You will forever be missed Kenny. We love you always. You live in our hearts forever.
Edit: Sending my condolences from East Africa.
Thank you.
No matter what kind of music you’re into, you can’t deny that this song is one of the greats. Bravo, Mr. Rogers.
Indeed Sean indeed
Blessed the Truthers Sean Douglas! Bless You!
No arguments there Sean.
Completely true. I listen to punk rock & west coast gangsta rap
Even as a kid, probably 8 years old, I understood the power of these lyrics. Now, decades later, theyve just developed more layers of meaning.
RIP Kenny. The singer may be silent, but his songs will live forever.
Amen

Couldn't have said it any better
Yes “ Master “ piece ❤
Kenny didn't die. He broke even.
This was my grandads favorite song, we lost him last week and this is the only song I can listen to. That man was my hero.

“It’s not considered weak to turn the other cheek” brilliant tune!!! Kenny Rogers just singing some right good life advice!!!
I’m listening to this minutes after I heard Kenny died... absolutely crushed
Me too, I just got the news. We lost a Country Hero.
At least we have his great music to remember him with
Same here same here I couldn’t believe he has passed
Me too. Sad
Ive got my guitar plugged in and playing along... ..
My husband passed away last year. We would dance to this. Now that he is gone, I can still feel his arms around me as I dance alone in my living room where we once danced together. What a life we shared. His birthday would have been July 6th. God I miss him.
Lovely and so romantic story!
I’m sorry for your loss, hopefully you connect with a women that understands and cares!
You are a good wife person woman i like your words😢
I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing you and your husband's story. ❤
Thats my birthday im sorry
This is a prayer, from the UK 🇬🇧
I feel sad that Rogers passed away. His song, gambler, is such a beautiful song.
Rest in Peace.
@Hello how are you doing
His goes in a wonderful world
This is the greatest life lesson we can teach our children. Thank you, Kenny Rogers. The poker game of life.
what
so damn right
The only game that counts!! The words are brilliantly crafted for living life!
🗿🗿🗿
First the "gambler" wanted a swig of his whiskey for some "free" advice, then he bummed a cigarette, then he needed a lighter (that I guarentee he pocketed) I don't think this guy was a gambler at all, sounds more like a slick talking GD con artist to me, I swear I know a dude just like that named Lonzo. It was probably him.
I’m 42 and still can hear my grandma playing this every morning when I woke up to go to school. R.I.P Kenny and Grandma.
Hi how are you today
Always great to comeback to Kenny Rogers after that terrible news on Hollywood. It is literally like you seeing campfire in the middle of dark woods
Kenny was a true gambler, throughout his whole life. He can finally count his money. Rest In Peace, Kenny.

Maybe Kenny will meet up with that Gambler again on a warm summers evening in a train bound for nowhere.
Rest in peace, Kenny.
I’m sure they’re having a good chat as we speak.

guess Kenny figured it was time to fold 'em. RIP, Kenny and thanks for the music and memories.
Very well said brother.

@SpaghettiandSauce he got lucky ~ died in his sleep
@@alyceclover ⁰⁰
This was my mom's favorite song. I always liked it, but it took on completely new meaning after she passed. Battling with kidney failure, crippling arthritis in every joint, among other issues, she made the decision to stop her dialysis and enter hospice. She was an incredible woman with a completely unconquerable spirit. She taught me how to love unconditionally and how be a total badass.
Play the cards you've been dealt, not the ones you wish you'd been dealt. Play them as best you can, and win as many hands as you are able. Know when your cards are not likely to bring victory, and take those losses in stride. And, at the end of it all, know when it is time to count your chips and excuse yourself from the table. She lived those ideals every day of her life, right up until the last. She went out on her own terms, not those dictated by her situation, and she did so knowing how loved she was, and how much she meant to everyone that ever knew her. Her wallet wasn't overly full, but her stack of chips was piled to the moon. I hope she's having fun with Kenny up there.
Just like my mom, she died 2 years ago❤
The gambler broke even.
Rest easy, Kenny Rogers.
One of the best story telling singers
of all time, by far.
RIP Kenny Rogers.🙏
Amen
God rest his soul
did he die?
@@kidscowell no where just saying it for fun what do you think dummy
Man its been 3 years he is dead. His name will never be forgotten
_And somewhere in the darkness, Kenny, he broke even._
_But in his timeless songs I find an ace that I could keep._
Classy!
Quite excellent new lyric!
Peter Rebadomia Lol I write my comment in similar fashion before seeing this ace
Well said my friend.
😭😭😭😭
Not many people realize that the gambler die in his sleep, he taught one last lesson and passed on.
RIP Kenny Rogers - He knew when to hold 'em, he knew when to fold 'em. He knew when to walk away, and he knew when to run. He never counted his money while sitting at the table. Now he has time enough for counting, 'cause the dealing's done.
Amen.

This is one of the tough parts of getting older: Watching your favorite childhood entertainers pass-away. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for the many years of great music.
That is what my dad said today. He is 72 and I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, all these great country singers, because of my dad.
No i would say it is losing all your best friends.
I agree 100%. Losing musicians, actors, athletes, all the people who've entertained me throughout my life makes me realize I'm getting older when they pass on. I'm 52 and feel the same as you. Sometimes I feel like I'm living on borrowed time and I'm just existing until my time is up. I feel like my best days are behind me. At the same time, I'm grateful for everyday and try not to take it for granted. I thank God every morning and night for every day he gives me. R.I.P. Kenny!!
Soo, are you here to fix the cable? ;-)

Hey..
*Old country music tells the stories of life in a way no other genre can*
Lord this is so true.
My dad used to play this song in the house and in the car. I understand the song so much more now, at 39. It got me so emotional. ❤ I’m still a papa’s girl, so grateful to have him in my life. 🥰
I am 72 and still love it one of my special favourites
@@malclawrence834 That’s understandable… His songs are timeless. ☺️
I friend told me about this song while discussing investment decisions. Few months later the friend has gone to heaven! Every time I am listen to the song, it reminds me of him and make me emotional! Timeless song!!
Really happy that you got to share this moment with your father. Take care ms.
Love the song but still don't understand it.
RIP legend. This song and “Coward of the County” are classic country gold.
My two favourites.
The Lazy Lounge Lizard agree
He died
Rueben James was another good one

My husband would turn this song on, look at me and hold out his hand and we would slow dance to it. He was dying of COPD...about 3 weeks before he passed, he turned it on one more time. I looked at him, helped him up from his chair and he literally hung on me, as he was too weak to stand on his own anymore and we shared...one...last...dance. RIP, Robbie...I love you.
😭 RIP Robbie🙏🙏 So sorry for your loss, love.
@@mamajane85 RIP Robbie So sorry for your loss, love
I've lost loved ones...the best of them go too soon it seems. Believe me, he got more out of this life meeting you, knowing you and having you, and more in his last days than most can ever hope for. Rest in Peace....indeed.
😭😭 Im so sorry for your loss but I’m happy for your memories.
@@FoodNerds Thank you
I am Latino but I like music in English, I like Kenny Rogers a lot
The message in this song is Immortal.. a massage from a gambler that affects our day-to-day life, *Taking Risk* knowing when to hold on and when to fold yourself for every way got a winner and a loser... Take your Risk in life right...
RIP Kenny
message not massage

This song was a regular part of our music festivals over the years. I think this was the first song I knew all the lyrics to as a kid.. 3 years old and I could put my own vinyl on. Still have my original copy. It's always been special to me but so much more today.
One of my long time music hero's died last night.. I was actually visiting with one of my friends about our musical influences from childhood and this was one of the album's we were talking about.. and right at the time of his passing too.
"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."
OK Boomer. Born in 2003 and still know this song years
Ok boomer ,good music lasts forever,everyone who has taste knows him
My Grandfather died this morning from Alzheimer's... This was his favourite song! May he rest in peace.
