    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 troubles my only friend
    I've been down ever since I was ten
 
    CHORUS
 
    You know, wine and women is all I crave.
    A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.

    Bad luck and troubles been my only friend.
    I've been down ever since I was ten.
 
    Born under a bad sign.
    Ive been down since I began to crawl.
    If it wasnt for bad luck,
    I wouldnt have no luck.
    If it wasnt for real bad luck,
    I wouldnt have no luck at all.
 
    Born under a bad sign.
    Born under a bad sign.
