Lucky Child Lyrics - Singles - Mckinley

(McKinley & David Torn) 

He said, "I'll bring you something nice when I 

come home again. You know your boy 

loves you but Ma, this town is caving in." 

So I packed some food and all the money I had. 

He said, "You know I'll pay you back. 

I'll get a job in Lincoln and I'll send you every cent." 

I said, "You've always been my lucky child 

so I know you'll be just fine." 

But Lord, I confess, I'm scared to death. 

Please keep him in your sight. 

Please keep him in your sight. 

Take him by the hand. 

I ask nothing else for myself, 

Just watch over that young man. 

You see, he's always been my lucky child 

so I'm sure he'll do just fine. 

But Lord, I confess, I'm scared to death. 

Please keep him in your sight. 

Please keep him in your sight.
