Yeah you know if it wasn't for bad luck
People, I wouldn't have no luck at all

Yeah you know if it wasn't for bad luck
People, I wouldn't have no luck at all

Yeah you know bad luck and trouble been followin' me
Ever since I begin to crawl

Yeah you know I beg for a nickel
Oh Lord, to put in the telephone

Yeah I beg for a nickel
Oh Lord, to put in the telephone

Yeah I wanna talk to my baby
Yeah you know she been gone so long

Yeah you know whiskey and women
That's all in the world I crave
Oh Lord, why?

Yeah you know whiskey and women
That's all in the world I crave

Yeah you know I believe a big-leg woman
Yeah she gon' take me to my grave
