Just My Luck

Well I walked out of the jailhouse into the arms of June,
We booked into a cheap hotel for one whole afternoon.
She dragged me out a-gamblin’ just as the sun went down.
We drank our weight in liquor and played cards all over town.

Oh my luck. I won with ev’ry hand.
Oh my luck. I was up eleven grand.
Oh my luck. It was gonna be my night.
Just my luck – I had to get caught in that fight.

So I staggered through the city with my pockets full of cash.
My bladder was nearly burstin’ from a long night on the lash.
So I ducks into this alleyway without a second glance,
When I felt this geezer at my back and he doesn’t want to dance.

Oh my luck. I won with ev’ry hand.
Oh my luck. I was up eleven grand.
In a ruck. And he he hit me from behind.
Just my luck - that I’m the fighting kind.

Well I made myself a promise and I made myself a vow.
I’m never going back to jail; no chance, no way, no how.
But this copper come around the block as the mugger dropped down dead.
When he asked me "Why d'you do it, son?"
You can guess at what I said…

Oh my luck. I won with ev’ry hand.
Oh my luck. I was up eleven grand.
Oh my luck. 'Cause he stole from me, that’s why.
Just my luck - that you was passing by.

Oh my luck. I won with ev’ry hand.
Oh my luck. I was up eleven grand.
Oh my luck now it’s too late to repent.
My luck came...
And in the self-same night it went.
