I Always Wind Up A Loser

George Jones · The Ballad Side of George Jones [1963]

I've gambled in the game of love

The cards and dice have fallen

I've had my share of aweet romance

I've had fights and lots of quarels.



Well I've rode in cars with movie stars

My bank accout's a doozer

But when I gamble with my heart

I always wind up a loser.



--- Instrumental ---



I alway wind up lookin' back

And I says, boys, what happened

The strings of love has just run out

And you heart screams it's madness.



My sex appeals lies in the pill

And that's where I'm the choser

But when I gamble with my heart

I always wind up a loser.



--- Instrumental ---



At the game where money's to blame

With cards around the table

I'll make a bet and get a met

I havn't always been able.



I guess the cards are all marred

And the wonmans eyes are bluer

But when I gamble with my heart

I always wind up a loser.



--- Instrumental ---



I've rode in cars with movie stars

My bank accout's a doozer

But when I gamble with my heart

I always wind up a loser.



Lord, Lord...
