One, two   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' ... (solo)   If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kinda 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
