If I Lose

(앨범: High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project - 2009)

If I lose let me lose, I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time

I can't walk neither can I talk
Just getting back from the state of old New York
One morning before day

Flossie, oh, Flossie, now what is the matter?
Walked all the way from old Cincinnati
One morning 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 trying to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time

The blood was a-running, I was running too
To give my feet some exercise, I had nothing else to do
One morning before day

Yeah, the peas was so greasy, the meat was so fat
The boys was fighting the Spaniards while I was fighting that
One morning 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 trying to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time

You ought to seen them boats, coming round the bend
Everyone was loaded down with American men
One morning 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 trying to win a dime
For my baby, she keeps money all the time
