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 and trouble's my only friend. I've been down 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. I can't read, can hardly write My whole life has been one big fight If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all. You know, wine and women is all i crave. A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.
