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
