By Booker T. Jones And William Bell

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's My Only Friend.
I've Been Down Ever Since I Was Ten.

Chorus

You Know, Wine And Women Is All I Crave.
A Big Bad Woman's Gonna Carry Me To My Grave.

Chorus

First Verse

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.
If It Wasn't For Real Bad Luck,
I Wouldn't Have No Luck At All.

Born Under A Bad Sign.
