(Chorus)
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

(Verse)
Bad luck and trouble been my only friend
I've been down ever since I was ten

(Chorus)
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

(Verse)
Never learned to read
Don’t know how to write
My only life has been one long fight

(Chorus)
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
(Verse)
You know, wine and whiskey may be all I crave
And one of these days they’ll take 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 wouldn't have no luck at all
Bad luck boy
Had bad luck all my days
