Bad Luck Lyrics - Singles - Albert King

Hey, I wanna tell you about my troubles 

I've had just about every bad luck a man can have 

In my moving around, I've played all over the world 

And just about every town 

Anywhere I play, they wanna know what I'm putting down 

They [Incomprehensible] 

They shot me at San Antone 

You know they kicked me out of Kansas City 

Lord, I wonder what did I do wrong 

Oh, my house burned down in Boston 

My wife left me in Maine 

I broke both of my arms in Utah 

While I catch me a fast freight train 

Oh, bad luck, yeah, bad luck 

Keeps following me, won't let me be 

I asked bad luck this morning 

"How long must I be your slave?" 

He said, "I've left you in your cradle 

I'm gonna ride you to your grave" 

Oh, bad luck, yeah, bad luck 

Keeps following me, won't let me be 

Oh, bad luck, oh, bad luck 

Won't let me be, keeps following me 

I asked bad luck this morning 

How long must I be your slave 

He said, "I've left you in your cradle" 

Boy, I'm gonna ride you to your grave" 

Hey, bad luck, oh, bad luck 

Keeps following me, won't, let me be 

Yeah, bad luck, oh, bad luck 

Won't let me be, keeps following me
