If it don't rain, it's gonna burn
Fence needs fixin' and the tractor won't turn
There's a fox been creepin' 'round the hen house
Just like the tax man sniffin' around
Come on now

Ladybug, ladybug, give me some good luck
Four leaf clover, come on over
With me up a rainbow, throw me a wishbone
Cause I could use one now, won't you come on down, down, down
Ladybug
Sweet ladybug

There ain't no water in the wishin' well
Well how we gon' make it if the cotton don't sell?
Good heavens there's pebbles in the holes of our shoes
Coyotes keep callin' and the cows gon' lose
What we gon' do now?

Ladybug, ladybug, give me some good luck
Four leaf clover, come on over
With me up a rainbow, throw me a wishbone
Cause I could use one now, won't you come on down, down, down
Ladybug
Sweet ladybug

If the good lord's willin', that creek's gonna rise
Give us a bunch of crops and fish to fry

Ladybug, ladybug, give me some good luck
Four leaf clover, come on over
With me up a rainbow, throw me a wishbone
Cause I could use one now, won't you come on down, down, down
Ladybug
Sweet ladybug
