Don’t you drink with me ‘cos you know that I’m a loser.
And I’m proud of that fact as you can plainly see.
Never did what people said. I should’ve.
I’m just a low down critter who never did any good.
I’m just a low down critter who never did any good.

I spend my life working up a sweat to be a bad boy.
Getting girls into trouble ev’ry day.
Going from town to town . Now I tell you I’ve been around.
I’m just a low down critter who never did any good.
I’m just a low down critter who never did any good.

Lay it on me .. yeah…

Don’t you drink with me ‘cos I tell you that I’m a loser.
And I’m proud of that fact as you can plainly see.
Going from town to town. Now I tell you I ‘ve been around.
I’m just a low down critter who never did any good.
I’m just a low down critter who never did any good .
