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
