Born Under a Bad Sign

Cream cover

Born under a bad sign

I've been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

Bad luck and trouble been my only friend

I've been down ever since I was ten

Born under a bad sign

I've been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

Never learned to read

Don't know how to write

My only life has been one long fight

Born under a bad sign

I've been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

You know

Wine and whiskey may be all I crave

And one of these days they'll take me to my grave

Born under a bad sign

I've been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck

I wouldn't have no luck at all

Bad luck boy

Had bad luck all my days
