My papa called me his loser son Always had a feeling that I'd have none All my life I didn't keep my friends All along thought my bad luck would end Born under a bad sign Everybody tells me I was born at the wrong time Stormy shadow hanging overhead Now I remember what the man had said Took me down to the waterside Said he'd change my life, like he'd change the tide Born under a bad sign Everybody tells me I was born at the wrong time My future doesn't look too good I'd change my life if I only could I hear my fortune calling to me Come inside and let your soul be free Born under a bad sign Everybody tells me I was born at the wrong time Born under a bad sign, Born under a bad sign Everybody tells me I was born at the wrong time Born under a bad sign Everybody tells me I was born at the wrong time Born under a bad sign Everybody tells me I was born at the wrong time
