Chorus:
If I lose let me lose,
I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
while I'm tryin' to win a dime
For my baby, she needs money all the time
I can't walk neither can I talk,
Just gettin' back from the state of old New York,
One mornin' before day.
Chorus
Flossie, oh, Flossie, now what is the matter?
Walked all the way from old Cincinnati
One mornin' before day
Chorus
The blood was a-runnin', I was runnin' too
To give my feet some exercise, I had nothin' else to do
One mornin' before day
Chorus
Yeah, the peas was so greasy, the meat was so fat
The boys was fightin' the Spaniards while I was fightin' that
One mornin' just before day
Chorus
You ought to seen them boats, comin' round the bend
Everyone was loaded down with American men
One mornin' just before day
Chorus
