E A
Walk five miles, lose a hundred bucks, win a dollar pot and they call it luck
E B7
They say, "Take it away, Lucky, the luckiest man in town"
E A
Get hit by a truck and get a busted head, everybody says, "Lucky he ain't dead"
E B7 E E7
Lucky ol' Ed, the luckiest man in town
[Chorus 1]

Now, my wife said to me and she looked kinda coy, said we'd soon have a big-a family
F#7 B7
Everybody wants a bundle of joy, so I said to myself, "Oh, lucky me"
E A
Didn't know that's where my trouble'd begin, other folks have one, but my wife had twins

They said, "Take 'em away, Lucky, the luckiest man in town"

[Chorus 2]
A E
If I got a cigarette, I ain't got a match, if I set a dozen eggs, eleven roosters hatch
F#7 B7
If the mailman comes, he just brings bills, if I got a little Jack, I can't find no Jill
E A
Can't seem to win, I guess I'll always lose, when the waiter brings the check, my
buddy's tying his shoes
E B7 E
He says, "Take it away, Lucky, the luckiest man in town"
