Born Under A Bad Sign – William Bell (originally by Albert King)

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
Oh, 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 every since I was ten

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
Oh, if it wasn’t for real bad luck
I wouldn’t have no luck at all

I can’t read, didn’t learn how to write
My whole life has been one big fight

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
Oh, if it wasn’t for real bad luck
I wouldn’t have no luck at all

Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman’s gonna carry me to my grave

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
Oh, if it wasn’t for real bad luck
I wouldn’t have no luck at all
