Melissa Etheridge - Born Under A Bad Sign Lyrics

Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

"Born Under A Bad Sign"
(originally by Albert King)

One, two
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 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

Hey!

Oh, baby
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, wouldn't have no luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

I'm a bad luck girl
They have a bad luck
Oh

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, wouldn't have no luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, wouldn't have no luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
