Loser Songtext

von Dave Alvin

If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me, baby
'Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the gold

All that I am askin' is for ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man

Last fair deal in the country
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold dollars where your love is, baby
Before I let my deal go down

Last fair deal in the country
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold dollars where your love is, baby
Before I let my deal go down

Don't you push me, baby, 'cause I'm all alone
And I know a little somethin' you might never know
Don't you touch our liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
Gonna wake up in the mornin' and go

Now, everybody's braggin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to papa on an inside straight
'Cause I got no chance of losin' this time
No, I got no chance of losin' this time
No, I got no chance of losin' this time
