Lucky Day

Tom Waits

1. 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
   To bumming around
   So don't cry for me
   For I'm going away
   And I'll be back some lucky day

2. 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
   
   My daddy sat me on his knee
   And he told me
   He told me many things
   And he said son
   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
   And a can of beans
   
4. 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
