Lyrics:

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

Hard luck and trouble been my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

I can't read, I didn't learn how to write
My whole life has been one big fight

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I said, I wouldn't have no luck at all
That ain't no lie

You if it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

You know wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I tell ya I wouldn't have no luck at all

Yeah, my bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
