Lucky 16 Songtext
von Victorian Halls

I had 16 wives over 15 years
14 went blind when the 13th appeared
And 12 couldn't stay in her lane
God bless her soul!
11 had a date, caught late with a west-bound train

Woe is me, I need a new girl
Woe is me


I had 10 cheap wives over empty plots
9 loved the flask and the 8th never got (my 7 lives!)
6, 5, 4 where the triplets drowned
Meeting 3, 2, 1 where they sunk to the ground

Woe is me, I need a new girl
Woe is me, I need a new girl
Woe is me, I need a new girl
Woe is me, I need a new girl

'Cause she's dead I put two bullets in her head and she's at the bottom of the well
