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
