Artist: Loudon Wainwright III
Album: High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project
Genre: Rock
- Songwriters: Traditional
If I lose let me lose, I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm tryin' to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time
I can't walk neither can I talk
Just gettin' back from the state of old New York
One mornin' before day
Flossie, oh, Flossie, now what is the matter?
Walked all the way from old Cincinnati
One mornin' before day
If I lose let me lose and I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm tryin' to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time
The blood was a-runnin', I was runnin' too
To give my feet some exercise, I had nothin' else to do
One mornin' before day
Yeah, the peas was so greasy, the meat was so fat
The boys was fightin' the Spaniards while I was fightin' that
One mornin' just before day
If I lose let me lose, I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm tryin' to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time
You ought to seen them boats, comin' round the bend
Everyone was loaded down with American men
One mornin' just before day
If I lose let me lose, I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm tryin' to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time
