You Can't Lose What You Never Had Lyrics - A.k.a. Mckinley Morganfield - Muddy Waters

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 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
