Every man I get, he won't get sick, he will die
Doggone woman take from him he's a doggone fly

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, you know he worked very hard
Just as soon as I got him he lost his doggone job

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was a railroad man
Just as soon as I got him everything went out his doggone hands

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was long and tall
Everytime I look around he was kicking at someone other mans jaw

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was short and fat
I couldn't keep him because he wasn't taught like that

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was a sand-hawk in the sea
I had him two days and he got drowned away from me

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman I can't see the reason why
