The Winner (赢家) - Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare)[00:00:00]

The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand[00:00:07]

He looked like a drunk old fool[00:00:12]

And I knew if I hit him right[00:00:16]

Why I could knock him off of that stool[00:00:19]

But everybody they said watch out hey[00:00:23]

That's the Tiger Man McCool[00:00:27]

He's had the whole lotta fights[00:00:30]

And he's always come out winner yeah[00:00:33]

He's a winner[00:00:36]

But I had myself about five too many[00:00:38]

And I walked up tall and proud[00:00:42]

I faced his back and I faced the fact[00:00:46]

That he had never stooped or bowed[00:00:50]

I said Tiger Man you're a pussycat[00:00:54]

And a hush fell on the crowd[00:00:58]

I said let's you and me go outside[00:01:01]

And see who's the winner[00:01:05]

Well he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand[00:01:09]

Then he braced against the wall[00:01:13]

He slowly looked up from his beer[00:01:17]

My God that man was tall[00:01:21]

He said boy I see you're a scrapper[00:01:25]

So just before you fall[00:01:29]

I'm gonna tell you just a little bout[00:01:32]

What it means to be a winner[00:01:35]

He said now you see these bright[00:01:40]

White smiling teeth you know they ain't my own[00:01:43]

Mine rolled away like Chicklets[00:01:48]

Down the street in San Antone[00:01:52]

But I left that person cursing[00:01:55]

Nursing seven broken bones[00:01:59]

And he only broke ah three of mine[00:02:03]

That makes me the winner[00:02:07]

He said now behind this grin I got a steel pin[00:02:10]

That holds my jaw in place[00:02:15]

A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race[00:02:19]

And each morning when I wake[00:02:27]

And touch this scar across my face[00:02:30]

It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner[00:02:34]

Now this broken back was[00:02:41]

The dying act of a handsome Harry Clay[00:02:44]

That sticky Cincinnati night I stole his wife away[00:02:50]

But that woman she gets uglier[00:02:57]

And she gets meaner every day[00:03:01]

But I got her boy[00:03:05]

That's what makes me a winner[00:03:07]

He said you gotta speak loud[00:03:16]

When you challenge me son cause[00:03:19]

It's hard for me to hear[00:03:21]

With this twisted neck[00:03:24]

And these migraine pains[00:03:26]

And this big ole cauliflower ear[00:03:28]

And if it wadn't for this glass eye of mine[00:03:32]

Why I'd she'd a happy tear[00:03:36]

To think of all that[00:03:40]

You gonna get by being a winner[00:03:42]

I got arthritic elbows boy[00:03:47]

I got dislocated knees[00:03:52]

From picking fights with thunderstorms[00:03:55]

And charging into trees[00:03:59]

And my nose been broke so often[00:04:03]

I might lose if I sneeze[00:04:06]

And son you say[00:04:10]

You still wanna be a winner[00:04:13]

Now you remind me a lotta[00:04:18]

My younger days with your knuckles[00:04:20]

A clenching white[00:04:23]

But boy I'm gonna sit right here[00:04:26]

And sip this beer all night[00:04:29]

And if there's something that you gotta gain[00:04:34]

To prove by winning some silly fight[00:04:37]

Well okay I quit I lose you're the winner[00:04:41]

So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall[00:04:48]

And not so proud[00:04:54]

And behind me[00:04:57]

I still hear the hoots of laughter of the crowd[00:04:58]

But my eyes still see and my nose still works[00:05:04]

And my teeth're still in my mouth[00:05:08]

And you know[00:05:12]

I guess that makes me the winner[00:05:13]
