I woke late this mornin' The same misery I k**ed a bottle last night And now it's k**in' 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
