Track Title: Born Under A Bad Sign Album Title: Stax / Volt Singles, '59-'68, Vol. 7 Prime Artist: Albert King Written by: Booker T. Jones Written by: William Bell Lyrics: Born under a bad sign Been down since I began to crawl If it wasnOt for bad luck You know I wouldnOt have no luck at all Hard luck and trouble been my only friends IOve 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] |
