Born under a bad sign I been down since I began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all Hard luck and trouble is my only friend I been on my own ever since I was ten Born under a bad sign I been down since I began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all I can't read, I can't learned how to write My whole life has been, just, one big fight Born under a bad sign I been down since I began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all You know wine and women is all I crave A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave Born under a bad sign I been down since I begin to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck If it wasn't for, real, bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all Born under a bad sign
