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 all
Hard 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 all
I can't read
I didn't know how to write
My whole life has been
One big fight
Born 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, oh
You 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 all
You know wine
And women is all 
I craveA big legged woman
Gonna carry me to my grave
Born 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 all
Yeah, I'm a bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
