Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't no luck at all

Never learned how to read
Never learned how to write
Oh I've been down every day of my life

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't no luck at all

[?] women
Seem to get me down
They leave me dry let me feel like a clown

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

If it wasn't for bad luck
If it wasn't for bad luck
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have
I wouldn't have no luck at all
