[Verse]
G D
I walked out of the jailhouse into the arms of June
D G
I booked into a cheap hotel for one whole afternoon
G D
She dragged me out a-gambling just as the sun went down
D G
We drank our weight in liquor and played cards all over town
[Chorus]
C G
Oh my luck, I won with every hand
D G
Oh my luck, I was up eleven grand
C G
Oh my luck, it was gonna be my night
D G
Just my luck, I had to get caught in that fight
[Verse]
G D
I staggered through the city, with my pockets full of cash
D G
My bladder was nearly bursting from a long night on the lash
G D
So I ducked into this alleyway without a second glance
D G
I felt this geezer at my back and he doesn't want to dance
[Chorus]
C G
Oh my luck, I won with every hand
D G
Oh my luck, I was up eleven grand
C G
In a ruck, and he hit me from behind
D G
Just my luck, that I'm the fighting kind
[Solo]

[Verse]
G D
Oh I made myself a promise and I made myself a vow
D G
Never going back to jail no chance, no way, no how
G D
When a copper come around the block as the mugger dropped down dead
D G
When he asked me why I did it, you can guess at what I said
[Chorus]
C G
Oh my luck, I won with every hand
D G
Oh my luck, I was up eleven grand
C G
Oh my luck, and he stole from me what's why
D G
Just my luck, that you were passing by
[Solo]
C G D G
C G D G
[Chorus]
C G
Oh my luck, I won with every hand
D G
Oh my luck, I was up eleven grand
C G
Oh my luck, now it's too late to repent
D G
My luck came, and in the self-same night it went
[Outro]
