Lady Luck

Lady luck here I am on time Propping up the bar with a glass of wine Sunday night and I'm all spruced up and fine But I ain't going nowhere Lady Luck why don't you pull up a chair And bring you shamrock wisdom darling over here Your Gaelic humor and your pious smile All the lads will be laughing 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 in the nick of time Why are some folks lucky while the rest are trying Your demon plan is still a mystery Laced with a touch of inconsistency So why don't you give us all a break Make us all rich healthy and fine Five month holidays a 4-hour week And a horse that wins all the time Lady Luck hear the mandolins Kinda makes you wonder how it might have been Now I'll go back to the fun place I've got Or back on the streets again Lady Luck yeah it's late I know Allow me to buy you one more for the road Tell me something I've been longing to hear It's gonna get better next year 'Cause i've seen some rainy days My patience is all ripped and torn Now the sun comes shining through I've cried in my beer too long Lady Luck it sure is a funny old world Sure is a funny old world
