If It Werent For Hard Luck Id Have No Luck At All

Looks like the next time I see home again Will be when snow is on the ground Mother will be gone and not seen her son grown tall If it weren't for hard luck, I'd have no luck at all If I had a nickel, for every tear I've shed I'd be the richest man alive But all I've got from crying Is red eyes and bitter salt If it weren't for hard luck, I'd have no luck at all Early every morning, I can hear a whistle moan I think of a girl I used to know On the "City of New Orleans" She left , with a stranger tall If it weren't for hard luck, I'd have no luck at all I killed a man in Reno, for the turn of a card A lyin' , cheatin', gambler they told me The judge said he was sorry But I won't be out next fall If it weren't for hard luck, I'd have no luck at all If it weren't for hard luck, I'd have no luck at all
