Bad luck, is doggin' me around
Bad luck, is doggin' me around
And I can't change my ways
Because I've been made second grade

And it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
Yes it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

No love, has come to me and stayed
No love, has come to me and stayed
But I can't win this race
But to try to run ain't no disgrace

Losin' hands, have always been my deal
Losin' hands, have always been my deal
Never have drawn, drawn the ace
But when trouble came
I always looked it in the face.
