Lucky Day Lyrics by Tom Waits

Lucky Day Lyrics

    The prettiest girl
    In all the world
    Is 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 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 be back some lucky day

    Now when I was a boy
    My daddy sat me on his knee
    And he told me
    He told me many things
    And he said sone
    There's a lot 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 nothin' like a campfire
    And a can of beans

    Why, there's Miss Kelsey
    She 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 be back some lucky day
