(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
