Unlucky Girl

Big Mama Thornton, Champion Jack Dupree

[Verse 1]
I went down to Blake Street
To get a glass of gin
Before I drank my gin
The FBI walked in

[Chorus]
How unlucky
Say how unlucky can a poor girl be
Seem like everywhere I go
FBI following me

[Verse 2]
They start pouring out the bad liquor
It was running down the street
Instead of running down my throat
It be running underneath my feet

[Chorus]
Oh, how unlucky
Yeah, how unlucky can a poor girl be
Seem like everywhere I go
Police is following me

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, leave me alone
Oh, one more drink of gin will do it, baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I don't mind going to jail
But I didn't taste my gin
It seem like to me every time I wanna drink
Back to jail again

[Chorus]
Oh, how unlucky
Oh, how unlucky can a poor girl be
Seem like everywhere I go
The FBI is following me

[Bridge]
Oh, get in there, baby
Oh, make me feel it, make me feel it
Pour another drink of that good liquor
Ah, that's what I’m talkin' 'bout

[Verse 4]
Look like to me
The jail gonna be my home
When the police see me
Back to jail I go

[Chorus]
How unlucky
I say how unlucky can a poor girl be
I say seem like everywhere I go
You know the FBI is following me

[Verse 5]
The old folks told me drinking
Was killing poor me
But I told the old folks I cain't help it
Whiskey won't let me be

[Chorus]
How unlucky
How unlucky can a poor girl be
I got to keep on drinking my gin
But the FBI is following me
Whoa yeah, whoa yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
