Magic Slim & The Teardrops Bad Luck Is Fallin'
Well, my bad luck is fallin'
Fallin' down like rain
Bad luck is fallin'
Fallin' 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, what can a poor boy do?
Bad when you ain't got no money
All the bad breaks come to you
I got home this morning
She was looking kinda funny
She said "Don't come in, Slim, unless you got some money"
I said, oh Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Bad when you ain't got no money,
And your woman turn 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,
and I think it's your turn to move"
I said, oh Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Bad when you ain't got no money
And your woman turn her back on
