Loudon Wainwright Iii - If I Lose lyrics

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
