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