Ballad Of The Good Luck Charm lyrics

'Bout three thousand men, so the story goes

Came to fight the few at the Alamo

And among the few was a country boy

With an old guitar and a song o' joy

We get the word, the big attack

But come at the break of day

I went and told that country boy

Go put your guitar away

Dig it the gun, at bay

And the country boy, he looked at me

He laughed at me

He sang:

(Hush up your mind

I ain't gonna die

'Cause I got a good luck charm

Ain't nobody can hurt me, do me no harm)

With my charm

(My little lady back home she dun' gave it to me

Where she said it'll keep you as safe as can be)

Over the hill Santa Ana came

With all of three thousand men

Praise it the flag Jim Curry cried

We fight on until the end

We'll never see home again

And the country boy, he looked at me

He laughed at me

He sang:

(Hush up your mind

I ain't gonna die

'Cause I got a good luck charm

Ain't nobody can hurt me, do me no harm)

With my charm

(My little lady back home she dun' gave it to me

Where she said it'll keep you as safe as can be)

He was singing his dang fool song

About his dang fool charm

When they shot his dang fool head off.

Dummy...

(Hush up your mind

I ain't gonna die

'Cause I got a good luck charm

Ain't nobody can hurt me, do me no harm)

With my charm

(Hush up your mind

I ain't gonna die

'Cause I got a good luck charm

Ain't nobody can hurt me, do me no harm)

With my charm

(Hush up your mind

I ain't gonna die

'Cause I got a good luck charm

Ain't nobody can hurt me, do me no harm)

With my charm

(Hush up your mind

I ain't gonna die

'Cause I got a good luck charm...
