Born For Bad Luck Mc - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

Boys I’m most done travellin', Lord I’m at my journey’s end

B’lieve I’m most done travellin', Lord at my journey’s end

Well I been lookin' for me a good partner, bad luck is my best friend

Lord I was born for bad luck, bad luck is everything I see

I was born for bad luck, bad luck is everything I see

Well I wonder why, bad luck keeps on follow me

There was thirteen children in my family, I was the last one born

Thirteen children in our family, I was the last one born

I was born on bad luck Friday, lord on the thirtheenth morn'

Play it Jim

Bad luck is just like my shadow, follow me everywhere I go

Bad luck is just like my shadow, follow me everywhere I go

Till they follow me one time, back to my best gal’s door
