Song of the Day - Hard Luck Woman - KISS


In honor of KISS making it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (and way deservedly so!), I share with you one of my all-time favorite KISS songs. This song was originally written for Rod Stewart (who I am sure would have done a great job with it!), but kept by KISS as a follow-up to their smash, Beth, which was also sung by the raspy-voiced drummer of the band Peter Criss.   The song was covered very nicely by country superstar Garth Brooks for the KISS tribute album KISS My A**.  Here's the awesome original version...


Hard Luck Woman

If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye


If never I held you
My feeling's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know



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 ya
I can't forget about ya
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 want to hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie



I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man



Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen



Rags, I really love ya
I can't forget about ya
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man



Oh yeah, bye bye, so long, don't cry
I'm just packin' my bags, whoa, leavin' you
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah movin'
Bye, bye my baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh
