Bad luck has come to stay
Trouble never end
My man has gone away
With a girl I thought was my friend

I'm worried down with care
Lordy, can't you hear my prayer
Lady Luck, Lady Luck
Won't you please smile down on me

There's the time, friend of mine
I need your sympathy
I've got a horseshoe on my door
I've knocked on wood till my hands are sore

Since my man's done turned me loose
I've got those Lady Luck blues, I mean
I've got those Lady Luck blues
Lady Luck, Lady Luck

Won't you please smile down on me
There's the time, friend of mine
I need your sympathy
I've got his picture turned upside down

I've sprinkled
Goofer dust
All around
Since my man is gone I'm all confused
I've got those Lady Luck blues
Find my good man
I've got those Lady Luck blues
