I've been down since i began to crawl If it was'nt for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all Bad luck and trouble Been my only friends Been on my own since i was ten Born under a bad sign I've been down since i began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all I can't read and i can hardly even write My whole life has been one big fight Born under a bad sign I've been down since i began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all Bad luck child... If it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all Bad luck and trouble Been my only friends Been on my own ever since i was ten Born under a bad sign I've been down since i began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all Well, now wine and women is all i crave A big legged woman is gonna carry me to the grave I've been down since i began to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all Bad luck boy... If it wasn't for bad luck, i mean real bad luck i wouldn't have no luck at all.
