Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
Ahh If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, didn’t learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
Oh, If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is
Gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I wouldn’t have no luck at all
I been down
I been down so long
Down don’t bother me no more
