Bad Luck - Lyrics by B.B. King


Lyrics

Well, my bad luck is falling
Falling down like rain
Bad luck is falling
Falling 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
Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Well, ain't it bad when you can't make no money
Seems like all the bad breaks will come to you

Yeah, i got home this morning
She was looking kinda funny
She said "don't come in, daddy
Daddy, unless you got some money"
And i said, lord
Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Well, ain't it tough when you can't make no money
Without your woman turning 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, daddy
And i think it's your turn to move"
I said, oh
Lord, what can a poor boy do?
Yes, it's bad when you can't make no money
And your woman turns her back on you
