Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I ain't lyin'
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, my bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes

In 1985, Born Under a Bad Sign was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in the "Classics of Blues Recordings" category... It received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and in 2003, the album was ranked number 499 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The 2002 reissue of the album by Stax Records received a 2003 Blues Music Award for "Historical Blues Album of the Year"... love it! [ Reply ]

Saw him here back in the early 80s. He's a giant of a man, but so cool. The middle finger of his fretting hand was bandaged, but did it affect his playing? Not that anyone could tell. A guitar badass! [ Reply ]

h8rhater Sep 10, 2010 - 10:04	Rock and roll legends Albert King and Stevie Ray only rate a 7.5? We need to take this higher. [ Reply ]
fredriley Sep 10, 2010 - 10:02	This is pretty good, but I prefer the other version that gets played on RP quite often - I can't remember the artist, but he puts more oomph into this song IMO. Still, well worth 7 from the Nottingham jury for the back-to-basics blues. [ Reply ]

Esp., b/c we listen to this station at work , it is terrible hard to concentrate with it on. if i were at a bar playing pool? different story. The easy fix is for you to get a job as a bartender in a pool hall that plays RP. You're welcome. [ Reply ]

Almost every one I know loves SRV and the ones that don't only like country and western. I and many others wish he was still alive to kick your ass with his guitars. Go to Nashville if you think you have anything better. [ Reply ]
