Born Under a Bad Sign

One, two

Born under a bad sign

I've been down since I began to crawl

If it weren't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

Bad luck and trouble

Is 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 weren't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

I can't read

Never learned how to 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 weren't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

Wine and women

That's all I crave

A big-legged woman will carry me

To my grave

Born under a bad sign

I've been down since I began to crawl

If it weren't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck

If it wasn't for real bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all
