Hard Luck Blues by Edna Hicks
Performed by
Edna HicksHard Luck Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm simply busted and I'm blue
'Cause I'm so down and out
I'm just disgusted through and through
Here's what it's all about
I loved a man, his name was Jimmy
Born down in Alabam'
He always had a hand full of "gimme"
A mouth full of "thank you, ma'am"
[Verse 2]
Hard luck, bad luck seems to follow me around
Hard luck, bad luck seems to follow me around
And it seems to keep me all-in out and down
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Black cat, polecat pass me by twos and twos
Black cat, polecat pass me by twos and twos
Guess that's why I'm troubled, worried with these bad luck blues
