Papa Charlie Jackson Bad Luck Woman Blues
[Verse 1]
If you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail
If you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail
Always keeps you broke, always keeps you in jail
[Verse 2]
I used to be happy, as good Lord, all the time
I used to be happy, as good Lord, all the time
But soon as I got this woman, that was all I can call mine
[Verse 3]
My bad luck woman is a jinx and a worry too
My bad luck woman is a jinx and a worry too
I can't get rid of her no matter what I do
[Verse 4]
I tried to make her quit me by callin' another woman's name
I tried to make her quit me by callin' another woman's name
She said, "That is all right, he loves me just the same."
[Verse 5]
She keeps a ra't's foot in her hand at night when she goes to sleep
She keeps a ra't's foot in her hand at night when she goes to sleep
To keep me with her, so I won't make no midnight creep
[Verse 6]
My bad luck woman keeps me feelin' blues
My bad luck woman keeps me feelin' blues
I can't get rid of her, she sticks to me like glue
