This classic expresses a feeling of consistent bad luck from birth. On one hand, it grieves about a myriad of problems and ill fates, but at the same time takes a fairly optimistic in the hook ‘If it wasn’t for bad luck…I wouldn’t have no luck at all’, taking a somewhat light-hearted approach to hea...
[Chorus]
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
[Verse 1]
Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I've been on my own
Ever since I was ten
[Chorus]
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
[Verse 2]
I can't read
I didn't know how to write
My whole life has been
One big fight
[Chorus]
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I say, I wouldn't have no luck at all
[Bridge]
That ain't lie, ah, oh
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
[Verse 3]
You know wine and women
Is all I crave
A big legged woman
Gonna carry me to my grave
[Chorus]
Born under a bad sign
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
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm a bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
