Lyrics When Bad Luck Is On You - Tampa Red

When Bad Luck Is On You

When bad luck is on you
You’ll have tough breaks all the time
When bad luck is on you
You have tough breaks all the time
Looks like it’s always cloudy
Looks like the sun don’t never shine
Then everyone you love gon' leave you
And say they don’t want you no more
Then everyone you love gon' leave you
And say they don’t want you no more
It makes you mean and you’ll get evil
And do things you never done before
When bad luck is on you
Every time you look around
When bad luck is on you
Every time you look around
Everybody is trying to knock you
Yes, they’re trying to tear you down
Play that thing, boy
Aw, who wouldn’t be blue
Getting a break like that
When you’re in bad luck
You know how it feels then, awful
So if you ever get lucky
I’ll tell you just what to do
So if you ever get lucky
Yes, I’ll tell you just what to do
Forget all of those who was against you
Remember those who stood by you
