Lyrics Bad Luck Blues - Sonny Boy Williamson

Bad Luck Blues

Baby did you hear about the bad luck, the bad luck that happened just about six
months ago?
Now did you hear about the bad luck, the bad luck that happened just about six
months ago?
Now my cousin Marvin got shot down, just as he was walkin' out the do'
Now and he said please mister, said please don’t shoot me no mo'
Now and he said please mister, said please don’t shoot me no mo'
He said because my breath is gettin' short, and my heart is beatin' awful slow
And Marvin say I know I got some friends, I want somebody to go and get my
mother for me
Marvin say I know I got some friends, I want somebody to go and get my mother
for me
Say maybe she can help me with my trouble, people I’m in so much misery
And he say I hate to go leave my mother and father, I hate to go leave my
cousin Sonny Boy insane
He say I hate to go leave my mother and father, say I hate to go leave my
cousin Sonny Boy insane
Now go tell 'em if they be good they’ll come to see me, people on Resurrection
Day
