Well, bad luck is falling Falling down like rain Bad luck is falling Falling down like rain
No matter what I do Seems like my bad luck won't never change I felt kinda lucky My luck was running slow The last hand I caught four aces and the police broke down the door I said, Lord Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Well, ain't bad when you can't make no money Seems like all the bad breaks will come to you
Yeah, I got home this morning She was looking kinda funny She said \"Don't come in, daddy, daddy, unless you got some money\" And I said oh Lord, what can a poor boy do? Well, ain't it tough when you can't make no money Without your woman turning her back on you
Yeah Oh, yeah All right
Well now, I asked my woman for some dinner She looked at me like a fool She said, \"I'm playing checkers, daddy and I think it's your turn to move\" I said, oh Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Yes, it's bad when you can't make no money And your woman turns her back on you
