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
