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

Been on my own, ever since I was ten

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

I can't read, didn't learn how to write

My whole life has been one big fight

Born under a bad sign

Been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck

I say I wouldn't have no luck at all

<guitar>

You know if it wasn't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no kind of luck

If it wasn't for real bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all 

You know wine & women is all crave

A big legged woman gonna carry me to my grave

Born under a bad sign

Been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck

I tell you I wouldn't have no luck at all

I'm a bad luck boy

Been having bad luck all of my days
