If I lose, let me lose. I don't care how much I lose,
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime,
For my baby she keeps money all the time.
I can't walk, neither can I talk -
Just getting back from the state of old New York,
One morning, before day.
Flossie, oh, Flossie, now what is the matter?
Walked all the way from old Cincinnati,
One morning, before day.
If I lose, let me lose. I don't care how much I lose,
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime,
For my baby she keeps money all the time.
The blood was a-running - I was running too,
To give my feet some exercise - I had nothing else to do,
One morning, before day.
The peas was so greasy, the meat was so fat,
The boys was fighting the Spaniards, while I was fighting that,
One morning, just before day.
If I lose, let me lose. I don't care how much I lose,
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime,
For my baby she keeps money all the time.
You ought to seen them boats, comin' round the bend -
Every one was loaded down with American men,
One morning, just before day.
If I lose, let me lose. I don't care how much I lose,
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime,
For my baby she keeps money all the time.
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime,
