It Takes A Brave Fellow

It takes a brave fellow to smile in defeat And say by the better one i have been beat And not make excuses and of the winner say The better man by far did win on the day Though losing is a thing anyone would not choose For one for to win others do have to lose But the loser with a smile that the winner on his win congratulate In his own noble way is an unsung great It takes a brave fellow though in defeat feeling down To walk with a smile on the streets of the town And despite disappointment say hope in him is not dead Of happier times and a big win of him ahead And though of his dream of winning he did not succeed To smile in defeat it takes a brave one indeed.
