Ol' Lady Luck

i woke late this mornin'

the same misery

i killed a bottle last night

and now it's killin' me

whoa i'd wanted her to stay on

but ol' lady luck she gone

i wish i had me a nickel

for every dime i lost

i called upon the lady

but she wouldn't come across

man i'd wanted her to stay on

but ol' lady luck she gone

lady luck

if i had a mojo hand

i'd catch her with a charm

and hold her like a jealous lover

in my lovin' arms

oh i'd wanted her to stay on

but lady luck she gone

now mr. jailer please a favor

before you throw away the key

now if you happen on my lady

have her save a smile for me

man i'd wanted her to stay on

but ol' lady luck she gone
