Well, born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble
Has been my only friend
I been on my own
Ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Now listen
I can't read
And never learned how to write
My whole life
Been just one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I ain't lyin'
Oh, you know
Wine and women
My only claim to fame
A long-legged mama
Gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
People, I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kinda luck at all
I'm a bad luck boy
It's the only life I've known
People, I was born under a bad sign
If it wasn't for bad luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
If it wasn't for bad luck and trouble
Heartache and sadness
I wouldn't have no luck at all
