_Chorus:_
 
C7
- Born under a bad sign - been down since I began to crawl.
 
G7	
- If it wasn't for bad luck 
 
F7					 C7
- You know, I wouldn't have - no luck at all. 
 
_Verse:_
 
C7
Hard luck and trouble  -  been my only friend.
 
I been on my own  -  ever since I was ten.
 
I can't read, I didn't learn how to write.
My whole life has been one big fight.
 
chorus
 
You know wine and women is all I crave.
A big legged woman gon' carry me to the grave.
 
chorus
