Born Under a Bad Sign

Albert King





Born under a bad sign

Been down since I began to crawl

If it wasnÕt for bad luck

You know I wouldnÕt have no luck at all



Hard luck and trouble been my only friends

IÕve been on my own ever since I was ten



Born under a bad sign...



I can't read.  I didn't learn how to write

My whole life has been one big fight



Born under a bad sign...



[guitar solo]



You know if it wasn't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no kind of luck

If it wasn't for real bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all



You know wine and women is all I crave

A big-legged woman gonna carry me to my grave



Born under a bad sign...



[ad lib & guitar solo to fade]
