Lyrics:

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 has been my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign, yeah
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, never learned how to write
My whole life has been just one big fight
Born under a bad sign
People, I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Oh, I wouldn't have no luck at all, no money mo'
Oh, that ain't no lie

You know wine and women is all I crave
A sweet loving baby is gonna take 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
Oh, I wouldn't have no luck at all, yeah
Testify, give it Slash
Oh
Yeah, my bad luck boys
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna make it through the day
We're gonna make it through the night
Even though if it wasn't for bad luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
Oh, I wouldn't have no luck at all
No bad luck boys

Been my only friend
Hard luck and trouble gonna make it in the end
Oh yeah, hellalu-yeah
