A few weeks ago we did a dazzlin’ show
Near Venice of the north
A lifetime still in front of me
In the hands of the Mighty Lord
I held the jawbone of an ass
I was ready for the fight
There seemed to be no hostility
Luck was on my side

For every little song I sing
There’s a reason and a rhyme
For sweet Colinda’s merry dance
It was a pair of big brown eyes
We started of so well
But failed to make it through the night
I lost my hopes for her too soon
Luck was on my side

She gave me strenght while both them hands
Of the clock were movin’ on
And her late divine appearance
Got the sceptics proven wrong
Now here’s two private people
With a love they cannot hide
Happiness is part of them
Luck was on their side

Lady Luck how can it be
We never met before
And now I got a taste of you
I’m achin’ for some more
She’s been great,now I can’t wait
To take her for my bride
I’m sure that she’ll be happy to
If you are on my side
