Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble has been my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign, yeah

I've been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, huh, I didn't learn how to write
My whole life has just been one big fight

Born under a bad sign
People, I've been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, whoa-oh-oh
I wouldn't have no luck at all, no, no-no, no
Oh, that ain't no lie
Yeah

Yeah, you know wine and women is all I crave
My sweet lovin' baby 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

Oh-oh, wouldn't have no luck at all, yeah
Justified
Hit it, slash
Oh-whoa
Yeah, with bad luck, boys

It's gonna be alright
We're gonna make it through the day
We're gonna make it through the night, even though
If it wasn't for bad luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, ohh-oh
I wouldn't have no luck at all
We're bad luck, boys
Yeah

I've been my only friend
Hard luck and trouble
But I'll make it in the end
Ohh, yeah, huh
Hallelujah
