LADY LUCK
(Lloyd Price / Harold Logan)

as recorded by Billy Eckstine
with Orchestra directed by Bobby Tucker
(live) August 1960 Las Vegas


Lady Luck, she turned her back on me,
And now I'm filled with misery.
There's only one thing left for me to do,
To try not to think about you!

Just as blue as a sad old song,
And night and day everything goes wrong.
There's only one thing left for me to do,
To try not to think about you!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho, man,
A-baby baby baby come to me!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ee, child,
I got to win your love somehow!

Went to the river but I couldn't jump in,
And now I know that I just can't win.
There's only one thing left for me to do,
To try not to think about you!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho, man,
A-baby baby baby come to me!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ee, child,
I got to win your love somehow!

Went to the river but I couldn't jump in,
And now I know that I just can't win.
There's only one thing left for me to do,
To try not to think about you,
To try, (push me in),  not to think about you!
