Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at allHard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I've been on my own
Ever since I was tenBorn under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at allI can't read
I didn't know how to write
My whole life has been
One big fightBorn under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I say, I wouldn't have no luck at all
That ain't lie, ah, ohYou know, 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 allYou know wine
And women is all I crave
A big legged woman
Gonna carry me to my graveBorn under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn't have no luck at allYeah, I'm a bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
