Good Luck John

John had a horse and the horse ran away, bad luck bad luck
John had a horse and the horse ran away, bad, bad luck

Bad, bad luck the neighbors did say
Bad luck, John has come your way
Bad luck has come your way

He said maybe, it's hard to say
He said maybe, it's hard to say

Well the horse came back with a wild mare, good luck good luck
Well the horse came back with a pretty white mare, good, good luck

Good, good luck the neighbors did say
Good luck, John has come your way
Good luck has come your way

He said maybe, it's hard to say
He said maybe, it's hard to say

Well, the mare kicked John and broke his leg, bad luck bad luck
The pretty white mare broke John's leg, bad, bad luck

Bad, bad luck the neighbors did say
Bad luck, John has come your way
Bad luck has come your way

He said maybe, it's hard to say
He said maybe, it's hard to say

With a broken leg he missed the draft, good luck good luck
Well, the army came and walked on past, good, good luck

Good, good luck the neighbors did say
Good luck, John has come your way
Good luck has come your way

He said maybe, it's hard to say
He said maybe, it's hard to say

[Instrumental]

Well the leg got worse and would not heal, bad luck bad luck
And the pain was all that John could feel, bad, bad luck

Bad, bad luck the neighbors did say
Bad luck, John has come your way
Bad luck has come your way

He said maybe, it's hard to say
He said maybe, it's hard to say

Well the nurse, she came to take care of, good luck good luck
And the two of them, they fell in love, good, good luck

Good, good luck the neighbors did say
Good luck, John has come your way
Good luck has come your way

He said maybe, it's hard to say
He said maybe, it's hard to say

[Instrumental]
