Losing Hand (Charles Calhoun) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

I gambled on your love baby, and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love baby, mm, and got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand

While I was playing fair baby, you played a cheating game
While I was playing fair baby, you played a cheating game


I know you don′t care, but I love you just the same
I thought I'd be your king baby, yes, and you could be my queen
I thought I′d be your king baby, yes, and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker, 'cause I thought your deal was clean

The way you did me pretty baby, I declare I never understand
The way you did me pretty baby, I declare I never understand
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
