Losing Hand - Tin Pan Alley

Did you ever love a woman

With all your heart and soul

Only to discover

All she wanted was your gold

So sad

So sad

To play a losing hand

Oh, bad luck with my women

And I don't understand

Work hard every day

Bring home all my pay

Treat baby nice and kind

In my own special way

So tired

So tired

Of being all alone

Oh, bad luck with my women

And I don't understand

I go to church on Sunday

Say my prayers every night

Treat baby nice and kind

Try to treat my woman right

So sad

So sad

Pee Wee, to play a losing hand

Oh, bad luck with my women

And I just don't understand

Gave her pretty things

Fine furs and diamond rings

Gave her a trip around the world

But it didn't mean a thing

So sad

So sad

To play a losing hand

Oh, bad luck with my women

And I just don't understand

Ladies and gentlemen, I had to get a little bit of this

Pee Wee turned me on

Let's give him the claps

Let's give everybody the claps up here

It was early one Monday mornin'

Hey, I was on my way to school

Woo, hey, hey, one Monday mornin'

Hey, baby, I was on my way to school

Say that was the mornin'I was in love with you baby

Long before I learned to call your name

And I ain't lyin' either

Oh oh hey

Well I was in love with you baby

Hey long before I learned to call your name

Say you in love with someone else

And you know that's gonna drive me insane

Ooo wee baby

Girl you sure look good to me

Ooo wee baby

Hey baby you sure look good to me

Tell me pretty baby

Now who may your great lover be

Now they tell me Tin Pan Alley

Is the roughest place in town

Now they start cuttin' and shootin'

Soon as the sun goes down

Hey hey hey yeah yeah yeah

What kind of place can the alley be

Every woman I get yeah yeah

Lord the alley takes away from me

Now when I need my baby

She can't be found

She get up early in the morning

Tin Pan Alley bound

Hey hey hey yeah yeah yeah

What kind of place can the alley be

Every woman I get yeah yeah

Lord the alley takes away from me

I heard a pistol shoot

Somebody gone

The woman shot my baby

Right from the joker's arm

Hey hey hey yeah yeah yeah

What kind of place can the alley be

Every woman I get yeah yeah

Lord the alley takes away from me
