Bad Luck Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Well, my bad luck is falling Falling down like rain Bad luck is falling Falling down like rain No matter what I do Seems like my luck won't never change I felt kinda lucky My luck was running slow The last hand I caught four aces And the police broke down the door I said, Lord Lord, what can a poor boy do? Well, ain't it bad when you can't make no money Seems like all the bad breaks will come to you Yeah, I got home this morning She was looking kinda funny She said "Don't come in, daddy Daddy, unless you got some money" And I said, Lord Lord, what can a poor boy do? Well, ain't it tough when you can't make no money Without your woman turning her back on you Well now, I asked my woman for some dinner She looked at me like a fool She said, "I'm playing checkers, daddy And I think it's your turn to move" I said, oh Lord, what can a poor boy do? Yes, it's bad when you can't make no money And your woman turns her back on you

I've been down so long, and I'm on my way up again I've been down so long, and I'm on my way up again When I reach the top it's time, baby Oh, oh, you'll want to be my friend I give you all of my money, all my loving and everything I give you all of my money, all my loving and everything But you gone on and left me Oh, oh for another man Now I'm so sad I've been walking from town to town I ain't got no food to eat You can see I've been struggling I ain't got no shoes on my feet I've been down so long that I'm on my way up again When I reach the top this time, baby Oh, oh you'll want to be my friend

I don't deserve that I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind I don't deserve that I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind I don't deserve that I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind I don't deserve that I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind I don't deserve that I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind You don't deserve it Fuck what you wanna do Wanna hear the truth? You don't deserve me I guess you always knew Stop this shit, you're smashing my Innocence, my inner child What have we become? I don't forget It's only one side of the story I just wanna hear the truth I don't forget It's only one side of the story Rip my heart out, you know I know All the filthy things that you have done before Little lies that you've tried so mush to hide Fuck that shit, I don't need you in my life Cause I don't really want all this drama You're such a bad karma You're like a black cat The definition of trauma I pity your mama Forget I've said that You're the number four Open umbrella indoors Birds flying left to right Broken mirrors on your wall, but still I know that It's only one side of the story It's only one side of the story I don't forget It's only one side of the story I don't forget It's only one side of the story I don't forget It's only one side of the story I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind I don't deserve that I don't deserve that You're fucking with my mind You're fucking with my mind
