Here's the best I can do Simon Pierre - he's awful hard to understand when he starts growling like a stuck Kodiak !!

LOSERS Dave van Ronk



I blew my wad playing 7 cards 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
Got took for my Hoovers
That short got crowned
Now he's rolling down,
He's just another loser like me

See that kid sitting back at 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
Makin' disco sounds in a HoJo lounge
With a bunch of other Losers like me

Love has busted up this cat for sure
He's crying like a baby and his baby's gone
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
But when she says when he'll be back again
He's just another loser like me

There's a hobo up in heaven on a golden street
Panhandling every angel that he'll meet
He's hocked his harp for some Reet from Pete,
He's just another like me

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

When God appeared to St-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 boozers
From Genghis Khan to the Fuller Brush Man
They're just a bunch of losers like me.
