John Wesley Harding - Miss Fortune lyrics

rate me

I was born with a coathanger in my mouth

Oh yeah, and I was dumped down south

I was found by the richest man in the world

Oh yeah, who bought me up as a girl

My sheets are satin but my mind's a mess

But there are worse things I confess

Than drinking tea in a pretty dress

and I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad

Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad

When he died, I inherited his wealth

Oh yeah and I revealed my self

I was snubbed by the friends he'd never had

Oh yeah, who sided with my dad

All my riches are beyond control

But it's the same old rigmarole

They say I've lost my very soul

Maybe I have

But I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad

Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad

And as I grew so did my fame

So I gave it up and changed my name

It's catch as catch can and

You'll never know who I am

When I died, I hoped to hear the angel's song

Oh yeah, but was I wrong

They threw me back there in that lane

Oh yeah and they said "start again"

So when you're turning out the bedside light

Consider me and my wretched plight

Looks like I'm gonna have to get it right this time

But I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad

Count your blessings and maybe

You'll be glad
