Got No Luck With the Women
(Anne Bredon)

I had a gal in old St. Paul
Fare thee well, Molly Kay
Didn't give me no lovin' at all
Boys I'm on my way, Yes
I'm a-goin' away.

cho: Got no luck with the women
Got no luck at all,
Just when I get hold of one
I'm bound to take a fall.

I had a gal in Louisville,
Fare thee well, Sally Ann
She got drunk on liver pills
Died with the bottle in her hand, Boys
She died with the bottle in her hand.
I had a gal in Baltimore
Fare the well, Laurie Lee
Danced around till her feet got sore
Down at the bottom of the sea, yes,
Down at the bottom of the sea.

I had a gal in Little Rock
Fare thee well, Sarah Jane
Put my old guitar in hock
It'll never be the same, boys,
It'll never be the same.

I had a gal in New Orleans,
Fare thee well, Jennie Jo
She fed me on kidney beans,
Boys I had to go, yes,
I really had to go.

I got a gal in Memphis Town
How d'ya do, Mary Sue?
Got her a rifle and she shot me down,
Honey I'll be true to you, I mean it,
Honey I'll be true to you.

final cho:
Got no luck with the women
Got no luck at all,
When she hot ahold of me
She took me for a fall.
Straight down to the parson's hall.
