Waters, Muddy - You Can't Lose What You Never Had Lyrics






Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain't that bad
Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain't that bad
You can't spend what you ain't got,
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had

Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad
Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad
You can't spend what you ain't got,
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had

Ain't that the truth boys

Had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain't that bad
My own fault, people ain't that bad
Well you know you can't spend what you ain't got,
You can't lose some blues you ain't never had

Have mercy!

Sweet little home, got burned down, people ain't that bad
Yeah you know I had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain't that bad
Whoa you know you can't spend what you ain't got,
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had

    There is a feeling I get from listening to Muddy it's that soul in his voice ____ that great sound ____ so unique __ those of us who love the blues understand the trip he takes us on. RIP we will listen as long as we are on this earth

  34. D.... X....

    Muddy is the one who took field blues from Mississippi to Chicago & polished them enough to shine without losing the bite & sting of the original.

    D.... X....

    Yes indeed, you just nailed it !!.......

  35. J.... R....

    This song has always described my life!

  45. J.... K....

    Repeating every verse twice is worrisome to me.

    J.... K....

    Then you must be extremely happy about the fact that their are other musics for you to listen 👂 to, leave these blues to those of us who love them 🎶.....

  46. M.... I....

    I don't own nothing i can't afford to lose.

    I met Muddy Waters on July 4th, 1976 and sang with him for the first time about two weeks later at The Shaboo Inn, Willimantic, CT. I continued to sit in with him until he passed away. He was...and STILL IS a HUGE influence on my music. I miss him terribly and often wish that I could jam with him one last time. R.I.P. dear friend!

    M.... H....

    Thanks for the story

    M.... H....

    I met him with Willie Dixon when he was producing me in Chicago.. sweet heart of a man.. this musta been pretty close to right before he passed.. ADDIE

  73. r.... ....

    I may be white, but I have to say blacks really can sing the blues.I have never heard a white man sing like this.Muddy Waters, Elmore James and Little Johnnie Jones. Great blues musicians.

    r.... ....

    Experiences can only lead someone to sing with such expression, especially where the blues is concerned.

    r.... ....

    rjreynolds100 ..Good Blues sounds good to all. Keep enjoying and BLESSINGS 2 U and yours.

    rjreynolds100

    Muddy Waters. The real deal!

    PASSAGEM
    Quando falamos do tempo, pretendemos do tempo nos apropriar, e podemos dizer talvez "no meu tempo" ou quem sabe "teremos tempo". O próprio tempo se encarrega de demonstrar que a realidade é diferente. A propósito, lembrou-me Muddy Waters [1913 - 1983] em sua antiga canção "You Can't Lose What You Neve Had" de quantas vezes deixamos de reconhecer que "Não se pode perder o que não se tem", "Não se pode gastar o que não se possui" e tampouco "Não se pode passar por onde não se vai".
