If never I met you I'd never have seen you cry if not for a first hello we'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you my feelings would never show its time I start walking but there's so much you'll never know
[Chorus:] I keep telling you hard luck woman you ain't a hard luck woman
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
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
[Chorus]
don't cry I'll be packin' my bags leaving you Don't cry I gotta keep on moving leaving you
