Lady Luck

Here I am on time

Proppin' up the bar

with a glass of wine

Friday night

and I'm all spruced up and fine

I ain't goin' nowhere



Lady Luck

Why don't you pull up a chair

And bring your shine right wisdom

Darlin' over here

Your Gaelic humor

And your pious smile

All the cats'll be laugin' tonight



Now you may say it's a funny old world

You may say that the game ain't fair

Is there a plot or do you improvise

Or maybe you don't even care



Lady Luck

Ain't you the fickle kind

Why are some folks lucky

While the rest are tryin'

You keep on playin'

It's still a mystery

You're laced with a touch

of inconsistancy



So why don't you give us all a break

Make us all rich healthy and fine

Five months holidays and a four hour week

And a horse that wins all the time



Lady Luck

Hear the mandolins

Kind of makes you wonder

How it might have been

There go all

The funny place I've got

Back on the street again



Lady Luck

Yeah, it's late I know

Allow me to buy you one more folderol

And tell me something

I've been longin' to hear

It's gotta get better next year



'Cause I've seen some rainy days

My wedding suits are frayed and torn

But now the sun comes shining through

I've cried in my beer too long



Lady Luck, Lady Luck

Don't push me over

When I can't stand up, oh yeah

Sure it's a funny old world

Sure it's a funny old world
