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
