Born Under A Bad Sign

by Big Mama Thornton

on Stronger Than Dirt (1969)

Well you know how the never trouble
Is my only friend
I just want you to know people
I been down ever since I wanted him
You know I was born under a bad sign
Oh I been down ever since I began to crawl
Oh you know behind the people bad sign
Hey You know I wouldna have no love at all

Oh I can't read baby
Oh big mama didn't even learn how to write
Hey you know I can not read
Oh and big mama didn't even learn how to write
I gotta get the whole world to know bout it
Because my life has been one great bad sign

Guitar solo

You know that the whiskey and wine
Is all I crave
I'm tryna [?]
Gonna carry me to my grave
Hey I was born on a bad sign
Oh I been down ever since I began to crawl
Said if it hadn't been for the bad love
I wouldna had
I wouldna had
I'm talkin about bad love
Oh great god oh mighty no love at all
Born under bad sign, yeah
