Lyrics

LADY LUCK
(Reggae Style)

Verse1 (Spoken or Sung)
When Lady Luck had a place to land I couldn’t find a seat.
All the way I had to stand, dropping roses at her feet.
I told her my misfortunes – She answered with a smile,
White horse and hero in that Cinderella style –
The She left.

Verse2 (Sung)
Oh, I promised from the heart.
Sounds better when I promise in the dark.
Cuttin’ loose from the end to the start.
Until dark do us part.
Until dark do us part.

Chorus1
I can’t stand up! (What’s wrong?)
I just ran out on Lady Luck. (So long!)
I can’t give up! (Hold on!)
I just ran out on Lady Luck.
She’s long gone.
She’s long gone – (Long gone!)
Long gone – (Long gone!)
She’s long gone – (Long gone!)
Long gone – (Long gone!)
She’s long gone!

Verse3 (Spoken or Sung)
Really enjoyed Her company,
Was captured by Her charm.
Crying to Her lovingly –
I wished my heart’s alarm.
She played so non-chalant;
It’s not for lack of want.
I’m not the one She’s waiting for,
I cringed before the open door –
What for?
Until dark do us part.
Until dark do us part.

Vocal Bridge1
We fight to survive.
Yet, we’re barely alive.
Ah … We start and we stall.
Ya know, we trip and we fall.
Oh ya!

Chorus2
I can’t stand up! (What’s wrong?)
I just ran out on Lady Luck. (So long!)
I can’t give up! (Hold on!)
I just ran out on Lady Luck.
She’s long gone.
She’s long gone – (Long gone!)
Long gone – (Long gone!)
She’s long gone, man! – (Long gone!)
Oh! Long gone! (Long gone!)
She’s history, mon! – (Long gone!)
She’s yesterday’s news! (Long gone!)
She’s gone. (Long gone!)
She’s long gone!
(Ad Lib)
