Kingston Trio - The Golden Spike lyrics

Once I had fame, oh but I was full of pride. There were a lot of friends

always by my side. But my fame oh it died and my friends began to hide

Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone. Everywhere

I turn there was hello and a smile I never thought that it would be gone

after awhile but my bank roll oh it down and the smiles they turned

to frowns. Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone

Once I had love. Oh but it wouldn't be true to get back that love there ain't

nothing I wouldn't do but I've loved and I lost and now I paid the cost

everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone

everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone.
