Band, The - If I Lose Lyrics






I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong.
Come on back, sweet mama,
Back where you belong.
I've gambled over this town
And find that I can't win.
Come on back and pick me up again.

[Chorus:]
Now if I lose,
Let me lose.
I don't care
How much I lose.
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime,
My baby, she's got money all the time.

Of all the other girls I know,
None can take your place.
'Cause when I get into a jam,
They just ain't in this race.
So come on back home, babe,
Let's make another round.
With you here by my side, babe,
The deal just can't go down.

[Chorus x2]

    Dang, even they're outtakes are better than any one else.

    This is the Stanley Brothers version, done quite well.

  4. N.... ....

    Me too! One of my favorite DVDs.

  5. f.... ....

    I love the way they could play so many different instruments. I've watched the Last Waltz DVD soooooo many times!

  6. N.... ....

    Nice bit of musical chairs on this one - Levon's on mandolin, Richard's on drums...

    One of my favorite Band songs.

  7. f.... ....

    @gutbucketblues You're welcome, it's a great old song!

  8. B.... O....

    glad I found this song on here!!
    thanks!

  9. f.... ....

    @MrRedthief It certainly does. I wonder if this had an influence on the writing of Cripple Creek?

  10. f.... ....

    @skinnyjohnsen Such a loss, he made some really great music and had a great style of bass playing!

  11. M.... ....

    I like this song, it tells us more about all of us than we realize.

  12. s.... ....

    @finlarg He worked with Eric Andersen and the Norwegian artist Jonas Fjell. I really didn't know that he had died.

  13. f.... ....

    @skinnyjohnsen Not the Rick Danko in this song - I'm afraid to say. He died in 1999.

    I like this song a lot, so I'm glad if I can make others aware of it!

  14. s.... ....

    Cool song! I don't think I've heard it before.
    Did you know Rick Danko lives in Norway now?
