Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friends
Been on my own
Ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Wouldn't have no luck at all
Can't read
Didn't learn how to write
My whole life's been
One big fight
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Wouldn't have no luck at all
If it wasn't for bad luck
Have no kinda luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women
Is all I crave
Big-legged woman's gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah
Born under a bad sign
I'm a bad luck boy
Been having bad luck all my days
