[Originally by Albert King]Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at allHard luck and trouble
Is my only friend
I been on my own
Ever since I was tenBorn under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at allI can't read
Haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been
One big fightBorn under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at allI ain't lyin'... [solo]If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kinda luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at allWine and women
is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me
to my graveBorn under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at allYeah my bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
