I opened up a door that I couldn’t close back

Bad luck and sorrow like a black heart attack

I knew when I met you I couldn’t let you go

Don’t wanna hurt you, but something you gotta know

I ain’t superstitious but I know somethings wrong

Any luck I had it will soon be gone

I’ll be singing a sad, sad song…..

Take me to a place where my hands ain’t so dirty

Hide me in the shadow of loaded gun

Take me to a land where the sun don’t hurt me

I beg for mercy cos my time’s almost done

Oh, bad things keep happening to me

Bad things

Bad things

Every time I see you, it’s another dark day

Everyone we meet they got nothing kind to say

I’m beginning to wonder what kind of deal that you made

That brought this trouble, and left it here to stay

I ain’t superstitious but something ain’t right

I can’t get my rest, and I can’t sleep at night

I can feel the rope pulling oh so tight

Take me to a place where my hands ain’t so dirty

Hide me in the shadow of loaded gun

Take me to a land where the sun don’t hurt me

I beg for mercy ‘cos my time’s almost done

Oh, bad things keep happening to me

Bad things

Bad things

Take me to a place where my hands ain’t so dirty

Hide me in the shadow of loaded gun

Take me to a land where the sun don’t hurt me

I beg for mercy ‘cos my time’s almost done

Oh, bad things keep happening to me
