Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began 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 since I was ten

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

I can't read, didn't learn how to write
My whole life has been one big fight

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
