Old Lucius James
He had a wild life
Let me tell you
Everybody used to call him Little Lucy
Now they call him Lucky Lou
It started back in Seventy-nine
He bought his first Pick Five
He scratched off that line
He hit the jackpot prize
Oh yea, he won a cool million
Next day on his way to turn his ticket in
He stopped at Polly's Pub to have a drink
In walked a lady, oh she was pretty
She said, Hey I'm Lydia
And baby maybe you and I was meant to
Be together, birds of a feather
If you're the bread then I'm the butter
Better give me a try
Oh my, you know he did
He was red hot
Winning the pot
And the ladies too
Yodel
Lucky Lou already had his fortune made
But it didn't stop there
The windfall was more like a hurricane
It just rained and rained and rained
And as he got all his wishes
People got suspicious
You know how it is when the eyes turn green
People get real, real mean
The townsfolk got pitchforks and rope
And went to get their Frankenstein
Put him in the jail
No chance for bail
Boy you gonna do some time
The very next day though
A huge tornado
Rolled in through the town
And flattened the whole place down
That prison ain't around no more
And only one man walked away
I'll bet you know who
You can't hold a man like that
It's just a matter of time
Until providence prevails
Until that golden goose gets loose
And then everybody's chasing it to hell
Our boy Lou, he didn't get far
Before a couple of men in black suits
They picked him up in their blacked out car
And well that's about the last time
Anybody saw or heard from Lou
Who knew getting so lucky
Could end in such a mess
That's the Ballad of Bad Luck I guess
It's the story
Of the death and glory
Of a dream come true
Yodel
