Levon Helm - You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had Lyrics

Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy, ain't that bad
Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy, ain't that bad
You can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had

Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad
Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad
You can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had

Ain't that the truth boys

Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad
Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad
You can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had

Had a sweet little home, it got burned down
People ain't that bad, my own fault, people ain't that bad
Well, you know you can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose some blues you ain't never had

Have mercy!

Sweet little home, got burned down, people ain't that bad
Yeah, you know I had a sweet little home, it got burned down
People ain't that bad
Whoa, you know you can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had
