Lady Luckless

Lady luck she'll steal your soul She'll cure the heartache and she'll ease the pain She'll put you on a level with the devil But you'll pay to pass this way again Lady luck don't ever let me down I swam a river o' whiskey an' I didn't drown Tried to beat the Devil at his own game Love's passed me by but it'll burn again chorus Lady luck be good to me Come show me things I never dared to see Tho' the tide of time is flowing endlessly Sweet lady luck be good to me I've known some girls who'd laugh at shame I've seen some women who could cure the lame It's a rougher ride down the faster lane Sweet lady luck's too wild to tame Well the days remorse has gone 'n' run it's course Let there come a time when there will be no sorrow Now I'm drunk again an' I don't feel the pain I'm gonna give it up, but not until tomorrow chorus Lady luck be good to me Come show me things I never dared to see Tho' the tide of time is flowing endlessly Sweet lady luck be good to me

Many have been denied the pleasures lady luck promises. Still gentle foolish men flock to her boudoir. She lets them sample but a taste of her majesty and in the process robs them blind. I enjoyed this song, you have skills my friend.
