Bad Luck Woman Songtext
von Papa Charlie Jackson

Did you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail?
Did you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail?
Always keeps you broke, always keeps you in jail

I used to be happy, [as good Lord], all the time
I used to be happy, [as good Lord], all the time
But soon as I got this woman, [lost] all I can call mine


My bad luck woman is a jinx and a worry too
My bad luck woman is a jinx and a worry too
I can′t get rid of her no matter what I do

I tried to make her quit me by callin' another woman′s name
I tried to make her quit me by callin' another woman's name
She said, "That is all right, he loves me just the same."

She keeps a ra′t′s foot in her hand at night when she goes to sleep
She keeps a ra't′s foot in her hand at night when she goes to sleep
To keep [me with] her, so I won't make no midnight creep

My bad luck woman keeps me feelin′ blues
My bad luck woman keeps me feelin' blues
I can′t get rid of her, she sticks to me like glue
