Losing Hand - Tin Pan Alley

by Roy Brown

Lyrics
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
