Everyone Loves A Winner (1969)
(William Bell/Booker T. Jones) 
Performed by The Flying Burrito Brothers, Palomino Club, North Hollywood, C.C. 8th June 1969. 


Once I had fame
Oh I was full of pride
I had lots of friends
Always by my side
Then my baby let me down
Oh my friends, didn’t even come around

Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone

Everywhere I turned
There was a hello and smile
I never thought
They’d all be gone after a while
‘Cause my baby let me down

Now my smile has turned to a frown
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone
