[Verse 1]
If never I met you
If never I'd seen you cry
If not for the first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
If never I held you
My feelin's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling you, hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Before I go, let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling you, hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh yeah, bye-bye
So long, don't cry
I'm just packin' my bags, yeah, leavin' you
Oh, bye-bye, bye-bye, baby, don't cry
