Lyrics

Born under a bad sign
Ive 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
Ive been down ever since I was ten
Chorus
You know, wine and women is all I crave
A big bad womans gonna carry me to my grave
Chorus
First verse
Born under a bad sign
Ive been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Written by: Booker T. Jones, William Bell
