O'Reilly Luck - Buddy Jewell[00:00:01]

Granddaddy used to sit me on his knee[00:00:17]

And tell me how it was in the old country[00:00:20]

Famine and floods and crops that failed[00:00:22]

I'd listen for hours as he told his tale[00:00:25]

He said "There must have been a curse on the family name"[00:00:33]

But he swore he'd be the one to break that chain[00:00:36]

With money he saved from the sweat of his brow[00:00:39]

He'd get 'em out of there someday somehow[00:00:42]

Well he never was much of a gambin' man[00:00:47]

But he dreamed of passage to the Promised Land[00:00:50]

Bet it all on a better life in America[00:00:53]

He said "We'll change our fate and this danged O'Reilly Luck"[00:00:58]

I can only imagine the look on his face[00:01:08]

Tickets in hand as they counted the days[00:01:11]

Eleven passports no turnin' back[00:01:14]

Decidin' what they should and shouldn't pack[00:01:17]

But the baby caught the fever just days before[00:01:25]

And the doctor hung a sheet on their front door[00:01:28]

For two long weeks they were quarantined[00:01:31]

Stranded with nothin' but his shattered dream[00:01:34]

Well he never was much of a gambin' man[00:01:39]

But he dreamed of passage to the Promised Land[00:01:41]

Bet it all on a better life in America[00:01:45]

He said "We'll change our fate and this danged O'Reilly Luck"[00:01:50]

Granddaddy told this story 'til he passed away[00:02:16]

How the people all cheered from the dock that day[00:02:21]

While he shook his fist with a tear in his eye[00:02:27]

At the beautiful ship of the White Star Line[00:02:32]

And he cursed his fate and his danged O'Reilly Luck[00:02:38]

As the mighty Titanic sailed into the sun[00:02:43]

Well he never was much of a gambin' man[00:02:56]

But he found his way to the Promised Land[00:02:59]

Bet it all on a better life in America[00:03:02]

He said "We'll change our fate and this danged O'Reilly Luck [00:03:08]

Danged O'Relly Luck "[00:03:12]
