This is a Dave Van Ronk song which I've had a lot of fun learning and singing. Dan O'Connell over at the "Just Plain Folks" forum suggested that I look at this one and thanks to Dan. I found the guitar tab online at
http://www.azchords.com and also there was a u-tube video of Dave Van Ronk singing it. I couldn't do it in his husky vocal style and I think I slowed it down just a bit. Added a few little touches of my own on guitar and some minor lyric revision. Hope all you losers enjoy it. \:\)

written by: Dave Van Ronk
I blew my wad playing seven-card-stud
I was playing for money, they was playing for blood
On the way back home the big winner got mugged
Now he's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
I got took for my Hoosers
That shah got crowned
His growin' been bound,
He's just another loser like me
See that kid sitting back at the bar
He's picking up a storm on a Martin guitar
That poor fool thinks he's gonna be a star
He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Some are raggers, some are bluesers
Makin' disco sounds in a HoJo lounge
With a bunch of other losers like me
Love has busted up this cat for sure
He's crying like a baby at his baby's door
That poor fool don't know what he's crying for
He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Can't say no to cruisers
When she says "When he'll be back again?"
He's just another loser like me
There's a hobo up in heaven on the golden street
He'll panhandle every angel that he'll meet
He'd hock his harp for some Sneaky Pete
He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Some are dopers, some are boozers
All the muscatel is down in hell
He's just another loser like me
When God appeared to Saint John Wayne
He told him "Duke, I'm a-coming again
Life is just a wagon train
I'm glad you're not a loser like me"
Losers, losers
Ten gallon bruisers
From Genghis Khan to the Fuller Brush Man
They're just a bunch of losers like me
