... in the millpond, birds flying over,
Tell them fool gals, I'm comin' over,
Step back, black gal, you can't shout,
I've got a yellow gal, to beat your time,
Oh lose my money, let me lose,
If I lose my money, let me lose
Lose my money, let me lose,
Lose my money, let me lose,
Lose my money, let me lose, let me lose,
If I lose my money, oh lose
Up to the courthouse, back to the jail,
Look mighty cloudy but it ain't gonna hail,
If I lose my money, let me lose,
If I lose my money, let me lose
Lose your money, don't you lose your mind,
Lose your woman, don't you mess with mine,
If I lose my money, let me lose,
If I lose my money, let me lose
Old Dirty Red said, before he died,
"One more road, I just got to ride."
If I lose my money, let me lose,
If I lose my money, let me lose
Ducks in the millpond, and geese is flyin' over,
Sally in the bed, and she couldn't turn over,
If I lose ... money, let me lose,
If I lose my money, let me lose
Goin' up Cripple Creek, coming down Main,
Look mighty cloudy but it ain't gonna rain,
If I lose my money, let me lose,
If I lose my money, let me lose
