Bad luck, is doggin' me around

Bad luck, is doggin' me around

And I can't change my ways

Because I've been made second grade

And it's better to have loved

Loved and lost

Yes it's better to have loved

Loved and lost

It's better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.

No love, has come to me and stayed

No love, has come to me and stayed

But I can't win this race

But to try to run ain't no disgrace

Losin' hands, have always been my deal

Losin' hands, have always been my deal

Never have drawn, drawn the ace

But when trouble came

I always looked it in the face.
