If I Lose

Ralph Stanley


Tom: A

INTRO
A D E A


VERSE 1
A
I never thought I'd need you
     D
But now I find I'm wrong
E
Come on back sweet mama
                A
Back where you belong
      A
I've gambled over town
D
Find that I can't win
E
Come on back and
           A
Pick me up again


CHORUS
         E
Now if I lose (if I lose)
       A
Let me lose (let me lose)
        E
I don't care (I don't care)
            A
How much I lose
     A
If I lose a hundred dollars
          D
While I'm trying to win a dime
    E                           A
My baby she's got money all the time


VERSE 2
Of all the other girls I know
None can take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So now that you're back dear
Le'ts make another round
With you here by my side babe
The deal just can't go down
