There's a woman in New Orleans

Said to love me she was born

But that was Friday payday

By Sunday she was gone

So I drove on down to Texas

Where I did not do to well

I fell hard for this woman child

Turned out she came from...well

Lady Luck help me hold on

Lady Luck help me hold on

To one that I love



Well I had no luck with women

Thought I'd try my hand at cards

So I headed for Nevada

Gonna really take them on

But the way the hands were fallin'

And the way the money goes

You could say it's getting colder

You could say I nearly froze

Lady Luck help me hold on

Lady Luck help me hold on

To one that I love



So I started playing guitar

In a southern boogie band

And the ladies I was meeting

Make you want to buy the farm

Gettin' tired of saving souvenirs

Don't remind me where they're from

And the nights come on like magic

In the morning it's all gone

Lady Luck help me hold on

Lady Luck help me hold on

To one that I love



Lady Luck help me hold on

To one that I love

Lady Luck help me hold on

Lady Luck help me hold on

To one that I love

Lady Luck help me hold on

Lady Luck help me hold on
