Tekst Utworu

Granddaddy used to sit me on his knee
And tell me how it was in the old country
Famine and floods and crops that failed
And I'd listen for hours as he told his tale
He said there must have been a curse on the family name
But he swore he'd be the one to break that chain
With money that he saved from the sweat of his brow
He'd get 'em out of there, someday, somehow
Well, he never was much of a gambling man
But he dreamed of passage to the promised land
Bet it all on a better life in America
He said we'll change our fate, and this danged O'Reilly luck
I can only imagine the look on his face
Tickets in hand, as they counted the days
Eleven passports, no turning back
Deciding what they should and shouldn't pack
But the baby caught the fever just days before
And the doctor hung a sheet on their front door
For two long weeks they were quarantined
And stranded with nothing but a shattered dream
Well, he never was much of a gambling man
But he dreamed of passage to the promised land
Bet it all on a better life in America
He said we'll change our fate, and this danged O'Reilly luck
La la la la la la la la la la la la la...
Granddaddy told this story 'til he passed away
How the people all cheered from the dock that day
While he shook his fist with a tear in his eye
At the beautiful ship of the White Star Line
And he cursed his fate and his danged O'Reilly luck
As the mighty Titanic sailed into the sun
Well, he never was much of a gambling man
But he found his way to the promised land
Bet it all on a better life in America
He said we'll change our fate, and this danged O'Reilly luck
Danged O'Reilly luck
La la la la la la la la la la la la la...
