We've been together daddy all of these years

Now you are driving me to sorrow and tears

Today you say you're leaving

Honey you know you'll leave me grieving

You may have another mama to take my place

One you can meet with a smiling face

But if you're goin' away dear, and can't stay

I want you to remember what I say:



You'll never have no luck by quittin' me

Someone will do to you the same way, you'll see

No one knows what I've gone through

Sacrificing everything dear just for you

Yes you may have your business all arranged

But you'll find out that things can change

For sooner or later you are bound to see

You'll never have no luck by quittin' me

You'll never have no luck by quittin' me



You'll never have no luck by quittin' me

You're gonna see dark days and misery

No good luck will come to you

You'll fail in everything you try to do

Someday you'll love someone, as I do you

Then you'll know what I've gone through

For sooner or later you are bound to see

You'll never have no luck by quittin' me

You'll never have no luck by quittin' me
