[Chorus]
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, I was such a lucky lady
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby?
You know you're a lucky lady, you lucky lady

[Verse 1]
Lucky lady, that's what I was, I was lucky to have his love
All a woman could wish for, he was that and so much more
He was mine and how I loved him
Before your hands ever touched him
Long before your tempting eyes lured my baby from my life

[Verse 2]
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, I was such a lucky lady
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby?
You know you're a lucky lady, you lucky lady

[Verse 3]
Is it love or is it pleasure?
Do you know you've found a treasure?
Are you only having fun?
Do you know the prize you've won?
If you don't want something lasting
If it's just the time you're passing
Lucky lady, give him up 'cause I do love him very much

[Chorus]
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, I was such a lucky lady
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, you are now the lucky lady
Are you happy with my baby?
You know you're a lucky lady, you lucky lady

[Outro]
Hey, lucky lady, lucky lady, I was once the lucky lady
I was happy with my baby, I was such a lucky lady

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
