(Chorus)
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

(Verse)
Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I've been on my own
Ever since I was ten

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
I can't read
I didn't know how to write
My whole life has been
One big fight

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
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 & women is all I crave
A big legged woman, going to carry me to my grave

(Chorus)
