Losin' Out Blues Lyrics

I'll forget that day, baby you walked away
I'll forget that day, baby you walked away
I'll forget the day baby you walked away
Didn't I hear you tell your daddy, "Your mama's going to stay"
That's the reason why I'm tellin' you
Baby, you're losin' out

Was early one morning, she come draggin' home
Was early one morning, she come draggin' home
Was early one morning, she come draggin' home
You oughta heard her cryin' "Daddy, your mama treated you wrong"
That's the reason why I'm tellin' you
Baby, you losin' out
"I left you that time, but I ain't gonna leave you no more
I left you that time, but I ain't gonna leave you no more
I left you that time, I ain't gonna leave you no more
When I leave you again, they'll be haulin' me away from your door
That's the reason why I'm tellin' you
Daddy, you'll be losin' out"

Friend, gonna ask you to follow me far as you can go
Gonna ask you to follow me far as you can go
Friend, gonna ask you to follow me far as you can go When I leave that time, I won't be back no more
That's the reason why I'm tellin' you
Daddy, you'll be losin' out

Oh shush

Friend, I followed my baby to her buryin' place
I followed my baby to her buryin' place
I followed my baby to her buryin' place
Till I hung my head and cried, the poor girl had passed away
That's the reason why I'm tellin' you
Partner, I'm losin' out

You oughta heard me cryin', "Partner, what a lonesome grave"
You oughta heard me cryin', "Partner, what a lonesome grave"
You oughta heard me cryin', "What a lonesome grave
I'll never get another woman I think can take her place"
That's the reason why I'm tellin' you
Partner, I'm losin' out
You take me baby, long as I was your child
You take me baby, long as I was your child
You take me baby, long as I was your child
Hold me in your right arm and rock me by and by
So I can tell my partner, "Partner, I ain't losin' out"
