Bad luck is doggin' me around Bad luck is doggin' me around And I can't change my ways Because I've been made second grade. And it's better to have loved, Loved and lost Yes, it's better to have loved, Loved and lost It's better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. No love has come to me and stayed No love has come to me and stayed But I can't win this race But to try to run ain't no disgrace. Losin' hands have always been my deal Losin' hands have always been my deal Never have drawn, drawn the ace But when trouble came I always looked it in the face. (Copyright 1974 mountain/carlin music)
