Losers Songtext
von Dave Van Ronk

I blew my wad playing seven card stud
I was playing for money, they was playing for blood
On the way back home, the big winner got mugged
Now he′s just another loser like me

Losers, losers
I got took for my hoosers
That shark got crowned, he's grown, been bound
He′s just another loser like me

See that kid sittin' back of the bar?
He's picking up a storm on a Martin guitar
That poor fool thinks he′s gonna be a star
He′s just another loser like me

Losers, losers
Some are raggers, some are bluesers
Making disco sounds in a honcho lounge
With a bunch of other losers like me


Love has busted up this cat for sure
He's crying like a baby in his baby′s door
That poor fool don't know what he′s crying for
He's just another loser like me

Losers, losers
Can′t say no to cruisers
When she says when he'll be back again
He's just another loser like me

There′s a hobo up in heaven on the golden street
He′ll panhandle every angel that he'll meet
He′ll hock his heart for some sneaky Pete
He's just another loser like me

Losers, losers
Some are dopers, some are boozers
All the muscatel is down in hell
He′s just another loser like me

When God appeared to Saint John Wayne
He told him, "Duke, I'm a-coming again
Life is just a wagon train
I′m glad you're not a loser like me"


Losers, losers
Ten gallon bruisers
From Genghis Khan to the Fuller Brush man
They're just a bunch of losers like me
