Walk five miles, lose a hundred bucks, win a dollar pot and they call it luck
           E                                        B7
They say, "Take it away, Lucky, the luckiest man in town"

Get hit by a truck and get a busted head, everybody says, "Lucky he ain't dead"

Lucky ol' Ed, the luckiest man in town

Now, my wife said to me and she looked kinda coy, said we'd soon have a big-a family

Everybody wants a bundle of joy, so I said to myself, "Oh, lucky me"

Didn't know that's where my trouble'd begin, other folks have one, but my wife had twins
            E                         B7              E

     A                                          E
If I got a cigarette, I ain't got a match, if I set a dozen eggs, eleven roosters hatch
       F#7                                       B7
If the mailman comes, he just brings bills, if I got a little Jack, I can't find no Jill
E                                                     A
Can't seem to win, I guess I'll always lose, when the waiter brings the check, my buddy's tying his shoes
          E                        B7              E
He says, "Take it away, Lucky, the luckiest man in town"
