Just My Luck!, only happen to me...

[ridgeback77]

If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. In the past two weeks, the timing chain has broken in my truck, my wife has interviewed for and not gotten 3 teaching jobs, I almost ripped one of my toenails completely off, and thats not counting this weekend. So far my wife's car has been keyed, had a mirror broken off, and she was rear ended this afternoon. So now we are down two autos, and we have to replace a carseat for our bub (who was thankfully at home with me when the accident happened).

Born Under A Bad Sign

From his album "New Orleans Heat", on Charly R&B CD, originally a Tomato recording from 1978. That album was produced and arranged by Allen Toussaint, and members of the Meters were among the musicians. This song was written by Booker T. Jones and William Bell.

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
