MAUDE'S BLUES (Sylvia Fricker)(1965)

Losing is an easy game.
Yes, losing is an easy game,
Well it's easy to fall
And it's so hard to climb,
Pretty soon you're falling all of the time,
Yes, losing is an easy game.


Oh, what can a loser do?
Yes, what can a loser do?
Oh, the Lord made a loser
So a winner can win
And that's the spot He put me in,
Yes, what can a loser do?

Oh, ev'rybody wins sometimes,
Yes, ev'rybody wins sometimes.
Well when my time comes
I'm gonna bar that door,
Ain't gonna let my good luck loose no more,
Yes, ev'rybody wins sometimes.

Oh, when I lost my last round,
Yes, when I lost my last round,
Oh cradle wood and coffin wood
They're all the same to me.
They're both carved out of that same pine tree,
Yes, when I lost my last round.

Losing is an easy game.
Yes, losing is an easy game,
Well it's easy to fall
And it's so hard to climb,
Pretty soon you're falling all of the time,
Yes, losing is an easy game.
