Born under a bad sign I’ve 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 My only friend Been on my own since the age of ten Born under a bad sign I’ve been down since I began to crawl If it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck at all I can’t read I can barely write My whole life has been one big fight Born under a bad sign I’ve been down since I began to crawl If it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck at all If it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck If it wasn’t for real bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck at all Wine and women All I crave A big legged woman gonna carry me to my grave Born under a bad sign I’ve been down since I began to crawl If it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck at all
