YESTERDAY’S WINNER IS A LOSER TODAY
Ernest Tubb / Jimmie Skinner / Jesse Rodgers 

Ernest Tubb & His Texas Troubadours – 1947, 1967, 1981
Ernest Tubb & Gene Watson - 1981



The world loves a winner but someone must lose
There's bound to be someone left with the blues

So why should I worry when you go away yesterday's winner is a loser today
Now I now that I find this heart to play fair but somehow I wonder if you really care
Was it love that you gave dear or just foolish play 
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

Instrumentals – Guitar & Steel

Now I know there was someone in your life before
And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore
Oh I wish it was different but there's no other way
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

So goodbye little darlin’ I'm sorry we met it's easy to love but so hard to forget
Just remember my story here's all I can say… 
Yesterday's winner is a loser today
