[Intro]
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Verse 1]
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 begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Verse 2]
I can't read, I never learned to write
Aw, my whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Come on

[Verse 3]
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman 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, wouldn't have any luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, honey
I wouldn't have no luck at all
[Bridge]
Aw, I'm a bad luck girl
I've been having bad luck, ha
All of my days

[Verse 4]
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
Wouldn't have any luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, honey
I wouldn't have any luck
If it was not for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
