One, two
|
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 all
|
|
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
|
I been on my own ever since I was ten
|
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 all
|
|
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
|
My whole life has been one big fight
|
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 all
|
|
I ain't lyin'
|
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
|
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
|
|
Wine and women is all I crave
|
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave
|
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 all
|
|
Yeah, my bad luck boy
|
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
|
