Born Under a Bad Sign
Albert King
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasnt for bad luck
You know I wouldnt have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble been my only friends
Ive been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign...
I can't read. I didn't learn how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign...
[guitar solo]
You know if it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kind of luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
You know wine and women is all I crave
A big-legged woman gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign...
