Buddy Jewell - O`Reilly Luck слова песни
Granddaddy used to sit me on his kneeAnd tell me how it was in the old countryFamine and floods and crops that failedI`d listen for hours as he told his taleHe said "There must have been a curse on the family name"But he swore he`d be the one to break that chainWith money he saved from the sweat of his browHe`d get `em out of there, someday, somehowWell, he never was much of a gambin` manBut he dreamed of passage to the Promised LandBet it all on a better life in AmericaHe said "We`ll change our fate, and this danged O`Reilly Luck"I can only imagine the look on his faceTickets in hand, as they counted the daysEleven passports, no turnin` backDecidin` what they should and shouldn`t packBut the baby caught the fever just days beforeAnd the doctor hung a sheet on their front doorFor two long weeks they were quarantinedStranded with nothin` but his shattered dreamWell, he never was much of a gambin` manBut he dreamed of passage to the Promised LandBet it all on a better life in AmericaHe said "We`ll change our fate, and this danged O`Reilly Luck"Granddaddy told this story `til he passed awayHow the people all cheered from the dock that dayWhile he shook his fist with a tear in his eyeAt the beautiful ship of the White Star LineAnd he cursed his fate and his danged O`Reilly LuckAs the mighty Titanic, sailed into the sunWell, he never was much of a gambin` manBut he found his way to the Promised LandBet it all on a better life in AmericaHe said "We`ll change our fate, and this danged O`Reilly Luck,Danged O`Relly Luck..."
