You Can't Lose What You Never Had

Lyrics: Muddy Waters
Music: Muddy Waters

Sung by Jackie Greene with by Phil Lesh & Friends at Terrapin Crossroads on 29 November 2012.

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

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

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
