Lyrics
- Born under a bad sign,
- Been down since I began to crawl.
- If it wasn't for bad luck,
- You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all.
- Hard luck and trouble
- Been my only friend.
- I've been on my own
- Ever sinced I was ten!
- Born under a bad sign!
- I've been down since I began to crawl!
- If it wasn't for bad luck,
- You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all!
- I do not like to read,
- I can hardly write.
- My whole life has been
- One big fight!
- Born under a bad sign!
- I've been down since I began to crawl!
- If it wasn't for bad luck,
- I said I wouldn't have no luck at all!
- And that ain't no lie!
- (B.B. King plays a solo on Lucille)
- Y'know, if it wasn't for bad luck,
- I would not have no kind of luck!
- If it wasn't for real bad luck,
- I would not have no luck at all!
- You know, beer and bowling
- Is all I crave.
- A big bag of pork rinds
- Gonna carry 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 tell ya I wouldn't have no luck at all!
- Good take, boys! Yeah! I think that now that I'm a blues singer, I should have some kind of name. How 'bout Muddy Simpson? No? Big Homer! T-Bone Homer! Blind Lemon Simpson! ........ Blind Lemon-Lime Homer! Blind Grapefuit Homer! Blind Strawberry Alarm Clock Homer! No, that's ... That's ... They used that already. Blind ...
