Born un der a bad sign;
been down since I be gan to crawl.
Oh, if it was n’t for (D)bad luck,
I would n’t (Am)have no luck at all.
(Bm7)(Let me tell you.)
Hard luck and trou ble er is my on ly friend.
Been on my own an ev er since I was ten.
Born un der a bad sign;
been down since I be gan to crawl.
Oh, if it was n’t for (D)bad luck,
I would n’t (Am)have no luck at all.
I can’t read; I nev is learned how on to write.
My whole head life an has been one big my fight.
Born un der a bad sign;
been down since I be gan to crawl.
Oh, if it was n’t for (D)bad luck,
I would n’t (Am)have no luck at all.
