Hey, I wanna tell you about my troubles |
|
I've had just about every bad luck a man can have |
|
In my moving around, I've played all over the world |
|
And just about every town |
|
Anywhere I play, they wanna know what I'm putting down |
|
They [Incomprehensible] |
|
They shot me at San Antone |
|
You know they kicked me out of Kansas City |
|
Lord, I wonder what did I do wrong |
|
Oh, my house burned down in Boston |
|
My wife left me in Maine |
|
I broke both of my arms in Utah |
|
While I catch me a fast freight train |
|
Oh, bad luck, yeah, bad luck |
|
Keeps following me, won't let me be |
|
I asked bad luck this morning |
|
"How long must I be your slave?" |
|
He said, "I've left you in your cradle |
|
I'm gonna ride you to your grave" |
|
Oh, bad luck, yeah, bad luck |
|
Keeps following me, won't let me be |
|
Oh, bad luck, oh, bad luck |
|
Won't let me be, keeps following me |
|
I asked bad luck this morning |
|
How long must I be your slave |
|
He said, "I've left you in your cradle" |
|
Boy, I'm gonna ride you to your grave" |
|
Hey, bad luck, oh, bad luck |
|
Keeps following me, won't, let me be |
|
Yeah, bad luck, oh, bad luck |
|
Won't let me be, keeps following me |
