LOSER'S LOUNGE
(Bobby Pierce)


Cal Smith - 1969
Ringo Starr - 1970



There's a honky tonk in this town
They call the Loser's Lounge
And I guess I'm a charter member, you could say
Since love has turned me down
Nothin' to do, but hang around
And listen to all the fools who come to say

That life is full of heartache for a poor boy
'Cause a bankroll can turn his woman's head around
Ain't no use to try and run away or move to another town
'Cause anywhere a poor boy goes there's a Loser's Lounge

(Instrumental Break)

Had a real good friend named Sam
Said he just couldn't understand
Why in the world his sweet love let him down
But a rich man caught her eye
He had the money for things to buy
Now there's a brand new member down at the Loser's Lounge

Life is full of heartbreak for a poor boy
'Cause a bankroll can turn his woman's head around
Ain't no use to try and run away or move to another town
'Cause anywhere a poor boy goes there's a Loser's Lounge

Oh Yeah!
