Lead Belly - You Can't Lose Me, Cholly

You can't lose-a me, Cholly, you can't lose-a me, boy
You can't lose-a me, Cholly, you can't lose-a me, boy

I went a-roawin' and my gal went too
Down on the river when the boat broke through
Ev'ry time she turned around she said it so funny

You can't lose-a me, Cholly, you can't lose-a me, boy
You can't lose-a me, Cholly, you can't lose-a me, boy

Up to widow Winston's I went a-roadin'
Down on my knees I was a-doin' a little courtin'
Ev'ry time she turned around she said it so funny

You can't lose-a me, Cholly, you can't lose-a me, boy
You can't lose-a me, Cholly, you can't lose-a me, boy

Hog and the sheep, they went to pasture
Hog said to the sheep: You better go a little faster
Ev'ry time she turned around she said it so funny
