| Well My bad luck is falling, falling down like rain
|
| Bad luck is falling, falling down like rain
|
| No matter why 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 bad 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?
|
| Well, ain’t it bad when you can’t make no money
|
| And your woman turning her back on you |
