Lyrics for Born Under A Bad Sign

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 is my only friend I've 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, haven't learned 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 say I wouldn't have no luck at all I ain't no lyin' You know if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kinda 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 I wouldn't have no luck at all Yeah, my bad luck boy Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
