Born To Lose

Bereits am 20. Februar 1942 wurde der von Ted Daffan unter dem Pseudonym Frankie Brown geschriebene Titel "Born To Lose" von den neu besetzten Ted Daffan's Texans - Leon Seago, Gesang und Fiddle, Johnny Johnson, Bass, Spike Jones, Schlagzeug, und Freddy Courtney, Akkordeon - eingespielt. Veröffentlicht wurde diese Aufnahme allerdings erst im Oktober 1943.
Dieser Titel wurde sehr oft gecovert und wurde unter anderem auch zum Renner für Rockabilly Fans.

BORN TO LOSE
------------
BORN TO LOSE, I'VE LIVED MY LIFE IN VAIN,
EVERY DREAM, HAS ONLY BROUGHT ME PAIN,
ALL MY LIFE, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SO... BLUE,
BORN TO LOSE, AND... NOW I'M LOSING YOU.

BORN TO LOSE, IT SEEMS SO... HARD TO BEAR,
HOW I LONG, TO ALWAYS HAVE YOU NEAR,
YOU'VE GROWN TIRED,
AND... NOW YOU SAY: "WE'RE THROUGH !",
BORN TO LOSE, AND... NOW I'M LOSING YOU.

BORN TO LOSE, MY EVERY HOPE IS GONE,
IT'S SO... HARD, TO FACE AN EMPTY DAWN,
YOU WERE ALL, THE HAPPINESS I KNEW,
BORN TO LOSE,
AND... NOW I'M LOSING YOU'OU'OU'OU !

ich bin mal so frech

Aus 1943 soll es eine Version von BRADLEY KINCAID geben (hier die
Sheet Music aus dem Netz). Dann auch DORA HALL.
