[Intro]
If never I'd met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first hello
We'd never have to say goodbye

[Verse 1]
If never I held you
My feelings would never show
It's time I start walking
But there's so much that you'll never know
I keep telling you, hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman

[Pre-Chorus]
Rags, a sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

[Chorus]
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man

[Verse 2]
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 telling you, a hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
[Pre-Chorus]
Rags, a sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

[Chorus]
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, you know you're gonna be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man

[Outro]
Hard luck woman
Hard luck woman
Hard luck woman
