I didn’t realize this song was so popular to cover by other artists.  First up is the original by Danny O’Keefe

Everybody’s gone away 

Said they’re movin’ to L.A. 

There’s not a soul I know around 

Everybody’s leavin’ town 

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane 

Found the sunshine leave the rain 

They said this town will waste your time
I guess they’re right, it’s wasting mine 

Some gotta win, some gotta lose 

Good time Charlie’s got the blues 

Good time Charlie’s got the blues 

You know my heart keeps tellin’ me 

You’re not a kid at thirty-three 

Play around you’ll lose your wife 

Play too long you’ll lose your life 

 Some gotta win, some gotta lose 

Good time Charlie’s got the blues
