The Penny Song

when I first start courting me honey
 this likkle thing she'd always tell me
 find a penny, you pick it up
 all day long it will bring you luck
 well at first I found it suspicious
 that me gal should be so superstitious
 me bawl, \"woman I think you're mad,
 no penny ever brought luck - good or bad\", but she say
 every day I find a penny
 lord, every day it bring me luck
 we were walking down the road one morning
 on the street I spied something shining
 when me bend down to pick it up, \"ah look ya,
 mojo penny come to bring me luck\"
 you see no girl like to be teased
 so the next instant she give me the freeze
 she say, \"honey if you don't believe,
 this time I pack up all me things and leave\", oh she say
 every day I find a penny
 lord, every day it bring me luck
 I can see how you might find it funny
 a gal to quit her man over a penny
 friends it's amusing, but it's true
 for that's exactly what me girlfriend do
 now for days I've sat sad and lonely
 man of good luck I can't find any
 all she left me was a piece of bread
 a ball of string and the thing she said, wo yeah
 lord, yeah
 every day I find a penny
 lord, every day it bring me luck
 'til this afternoon on the street
 I hear a tinkling at my feet
 when I look down in front of me - what I see
 lucky penny sent from heaven for me
 as I cried my very last tear
 the birds they sang, the sky became clear
 and out of nowhere me gal appear, and she say
 \"here's a penny for your thoughts, my dear\"
 now my story has found a good end
 me gal and me are happy again
 you see, miracles sometimes happen
 oh yes, but only when you let them in, now me say
 every day I find a penny
 lord, every day it bring me luck
