Born Under a Bad Sign Songtext
von Brook Benton

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


I can't read, haven′t learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn′t for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all

I ain′t lyin'
If it wasn′t for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
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 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,
I wouldn′t have no luck at all

Yeah, my bad luck boy
Been havin′ bad luck all of my days, yes
