If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for a first hello
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feelings would never show
It's time I start walking
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep tellin' you. hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman

Rags the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man

Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't want to hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep tellin' you, hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man

Rags the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man

You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Oh yeah, bye bye, so long, don't cry
I'm just packin' my bags
Oh leavin' you, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'
Bye bye, my baby, ooh don't cry, lady, oh
