Tom Waits – Lucky Day Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: The Black Rider

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
[ Lucky Day lyrics from

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
