Now gather around me blues   I'd like to make a toast   Let's all extend three cheers   To a guy that's lost the most      I don't want your pity   Or your sympathy   Just three cheers for the loser   That's me      Well, I set out to win her   Knowin' I might lose   I didn't think I'd end up   Talkin' to the blues      The only thing I didn't lose   Is her haunting memory   Three cheers for the loser   That's me      Now blues I stand before you   And I'm still hurtin' yet   The things I've been through   You know I won't forget      Still I took it like a man   You know I set her free   Three cheers for the loser   That's me      Well, I set out to win her   Knowin' I might lose   I didn't think I'd end up   Talkin' to the blues      The only thing I didn't lose   Is her haunting memory   Three cheers for the loser   That's me      Oh, three cheers for the loser   That's me
