Born Under a Bad Sign

Booker T. Jones, William Bell

[Chorus]
Born on 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

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Bad luck and trouble
Been my only friends
I've been on my own
Ever since I was ten

[Chorus]
I was born on a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, whoa
I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Verse 2]
I can't read and I can hardly even write
My whole life has been one big fight

[Chorus]
Born on a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, whoa
I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Bad luck child
If it wasn't for bad luck
I mean real bad luck
If it wasn't for bad luck, people
I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Verse 3]
Yeah
Bad luck and trouble
Been my only friends
I've been on my own ever since I was ten

[Chorus]
Born on a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

[Verse 4]
Well, now wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave

[Chorus]
I was born on 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, babe
Yeah, I'm a bad luck boy
Yeah, baby
Right

[Outro]
If it wasn't for bad luck
I mean real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Oh, yeah, yeah
