He put this togethrr in less than a week. Great human, great American, great dad, and one of the best country singer songwriters ever.

I wasn't sure what think about this song when I heard Kris Kristofferson sing the first line ... "a hunk of a man with a beer in his hand" and then I heard the whole song and I think it's the best country song ever written Shel Silverstein is amazing!

Kris you are the WINNER!!

When I was a kid, we used to love his(Shel Silverstein) books "A Light in the Attic", and "Where the Sidewalk Ends". Back then I had no idea this man's influence on popular music in the 60's and 70's. Kris is also another under rated song writer who had a large influence, especially in country music.

A real man, a ladies man, actor, boxer, Rhodes Scholar, singer, songwriter, Captain in the Army, helicopter pilot, bartender, and who knows what else? Misdiagnosed and then found out it was lymes disease. He is a true ,talented AMERICAN, and thank GOD, he never went to teach at West Point, BEFORE he quit the army, to be a janitor at Columbia Records! You did really good, KRIS! OTHER than JESUS, my brother, who also writes poetry and songs, thanks to you, and since his birthday is next week, Keith Richards; well, thats my main list if HEROES! JESUS 1st, Sam Cohen, 2nd, Kris, and Keith Richards will be close to a tie---- however, Kris accomplished one helluva resume! But Keith, you are the man I admired first, besides Sam ! JESUS, you are going to be #1, always!But it was later in my life BEFORE I realized that YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE FIRST!

Generally speaking, no one does Shel Silverstein better than Bobby Bare ... but IMO this is an exception. Like all good songs (OK, like most) "The Winner" makes a significant point, and when KK sings it, the words rise above the merely comic.

Kris K is simply a huge Country Legend and Genius! Everything he writes, sings, turns to Gold!! Love this Guy! Thanks For this FANTASTIC GENUINE Country Music!!!

I wish Johnny Cash had recorded this song. It’s perfect for him. Kris did a good job, and so did Bobby Bare. Sheldon Silverstein wrote A Boy Named Sue and this song has that same sort of wit. Silverstein was a great songwriter. Sylvia’s Mother is another of his great songs.

that old guy was me with much less wear and tear at the age of 14 when I decided to do the same thing when someone challenged me to yet another fight. I grew up fighting and the more asses I kicked the more I was challenged. It didn't take me a lifetime to figure it out that all that it accomplishes is more damage to the body and no gain other than false pride. But the bigger point I think you and others miss is the "spirit" in that old man. Winner's have "spirit" the challengers don't. The body is only a vessel and so when body is wrecked you still have the spirit that made you a winner.

Lyrics: He hulk of a man with a beer in his hand looked like a drunk old fool, And I knew that if I hit him right, I could knock him off that stool. But everybody said, "Watch out -- that's Tiger Man McCool. He's had a whole lot of fights, and he always come out the winner." But I'd had myself about five too many, and I walked up tall and proud, I faced his back and I faced the fact he'd never stooped or bowed. I said, "Tiger Man, you're a pussycat," and a hush fell on the crowd, I said, "Let's you and me go outside and see who's the winner" Well, he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand and he braced against the wall, He slowly looked up from his beer -- my God, that man was tall! He said, "Boy, I see you're a scrapper, so just before you fall, I'm gonna tell you a little what it means to be a winner." He said, "You see these bright white smilin' teeth, you know they ain't my own. Mine rolled away like Chiclets down a street in San Antone. But I left that person cursin', nursin' seven broken bones. And he only broke three of mine, so I'm the winner." He said, "Behind this grin, I got a steel pin that holds my jaw in place. A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race. And every mornin' when I wake and touch this scar across my face, It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner. Now this broken back was the dyin' act of handsome Harry Clay That sticky Cincinnatti night I stole his wife away. But that woman, she gets uglier and meaner every day. But I got her, boy, and that makes me the winner (?) I got arthritic elbows, boy, I got dislocated knees, From pickin' fights with thunderstorms and chargin' into trees. And my nose been broke so often I might lose it if I sneeze. And, son, you say you still wanna be a winner? You gotta speak loud when you challenge me, son, 'cause it's hard for me to hear With this twisted neck and these migraine pains and this cauliflower ear. And if it weren't for this glass eye of mine, I'd shed a happy tear To think of all you'll get by bein' a winner. Now, as I kick in your family jewels, you'll see my left leg drags, And this jacket's kinda padded up where my right shoulder sags, There's a special part of me I keep in this brown paper bag, And I'll show it to you -- if you want to see all of the winner. Now, you remind me a lot of my younger days with your knuckles clenchin' white. But, boy, I'm gonna sit right here and sip this beer all night. And if there's somethin' that you gotta prove by winnin' some silly fight, OK, I quit, I lose, son, you're the winner." So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall and not so proud, Behind me, I could hear the hoots of laughter from the crowd. But my eyes still see and my nose still works and my teeth are still in my mouth. And y'know...I guess that makes me...the winner.

Bam Dogwood I believe, though I could be wrong, that it's about a rough/rowdy/older man talking to younger man explaining to him how he got all his scars from barroom/parking lot fights while drinking. To me, he seems as if he had to do again, he might not be as short-fused. At least, that's the story I have in my mind when I listen to the song.

what happened kris' voice. smoking

A doctor in the hospital asked me once " How did you break your hand" and I said " Some guy was headbutting my fist repeatedly". He told me" Get out you foul". He was right. The biggest loser in a fight is not the guy on the ground, it's the guy walking away. I lost control of myself. Haven't had a fight in 22 years. Been punched a couple of times but never hit the ground.
