Lyrics Lucky Day - Tom Waits

Lucky Day

The prettiest girl
In all the world
Is in a little Spanish town
But I left her for a Bonnie lass
And I told her
I’d see her around
But that Bonnie lass
And her heart of glass
Would not hold a candle
To bumming around
So don’t cry for me
For I’m going away
And I’ll be back some lucky day
Tell the boys back home
That I’m doing just fine
I left all my troubles and woe
So sing about me
For I can’t come home
I’ve many many many more miles to go
Why there’s Miss Kelsey
She taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O’Toole
I’ll still beat you at pool
So don’t cry for me
For I’m going away
And I’ll be back some lucky day
Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me
He told me many things
And he said son
There’s alot of things in this world
You’re gonna have no use for
And when you get blue
And you’ve lost all your dreams
There’s nothin like a campfire
And a can of beans
Why there’s Miss Kelsey
She taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O 'Toole
I’ll still beat you at pool
So don’t cry for me
For I’m goin' away
And I’ll be back some lucky day
