Lucky Day


Music & Lyrics: Tom Waits
The prettiest girl
in all the world
in a little Spanish town
but I left her for a Bonnie lass
and I told her
I'd see her around
But that Bonnie lass
and her heart of glass
would not hold a candle 

to bumming around
so don't cry for me
for I'm going away
and I'll
and I'll be back some lucky day 

Tell the boys back home
I'm doing just fine
I left my troubles and woe
so sing about me
for I can't come home
I've many more miles to go 

Why there's Miss Kelsey
you taught dance at our school
and old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool
so don't cry for me
for I'm going away
and I'll come back some lucky day 

Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me down on his knee
And he told me
He told me many things
And he said son
There's alot of things in this world
You're gonna have no use for
And when you get blue
And you've lost all your dreams
There's nothing like a campfire
And a can of beans 

Why there's Miss Kelsey
you taught dance at our school
and old Johnny O'Toole
I'll still beat you at pool
so don't cry for me
for I'm going away
and I'll come back some lucky day
