Every man I get, if he don't get sick, he will die
Doggone woman take him way from me on a doggone fly
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I can't see the reason why
Well the next man I got, you know he worked very hard
Just as soon as I got him he lost his doggone job
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I can't see the reason why
Well the next man I got, he was a railroad man
Just as soon as I got him everything went out his doggone hands
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why
Well the next man I got he was long and tall
Everytime I look around he was kickin' in someone other man's stall
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I can't see the reason why
Oh, play it know, boys -- play for me!
That's what I am talking about...
Well the next man I got he was short and fat
I couldn't keep him because he wasn't taught like that
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I can't see the reason why
Well the next man I got he was a sandhawk in the sea
I had him two days and he got drowned away from me
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I can't see the reason why
Well the next man I got bought me a hat and a dress
And every time I look around the police had him under a-doggone-rrest
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I can't see the reason why
