LUCK MONEY by KARINE POLWART

Luck money
Never gonna spend a single penny
'Cause you can't buy back good fortune once it's sold
You can save it for a darker day or you can give it all away
Luck money is a gift worth more than gold.

Luck money
Never gonna spend a single penny
'Cause there's no such things as an ever winning hand
It oils the cogs of the carousel
When you let it go and you wish it well
Luck money keeps the whole world spinning round.

Luck money
Never gonna spend a single penny
'Cause we're all gonna need some luck to pull us through
A silver coin for a cradle bed
And a blessing on your blythesome head
Luck money gonna give it all to you.
