John Wesley Harding - Miss Fortune Lyrics
I was born with a coathanger in my mouthOh yeah, and I was dumped down southI was found by the richest man in the worldOh yeah, who bought me up as a girlMy sheets are satin but my minds a messBut there are worse things I confessThan drinking tea in a pretty dressAnd Im here to tell you that its not all badCount your blessings and maybe youll be gladWhen he died, I inherited his wealthOh yeah and I revealed my selfI was snubbed by the friends hed never hadOh yeah, who sided with my dadAll my riches are beyond controlBut its the same old rigmaroleThey say Ive lost my very soulMaybe I haveBut Im here to tell you that its not all badCount your blessings and maybe youll be gladAnd as I grew so did my fameSo I gave it up and changed my nameIts catch as catch can andYoull never know who I amWhen I died, I hoped to hear the angels songOh yeah, but was I wrongThey threw me back there in that laneOh yeah and they said start againSo when youre turning out the bedside lightConsider me and my wretched plightLooks like Im gonna have to get it right this timeBut Im here to tell you that its not all badCount your blessings and maybeYoull be glad
