Cream did a great version of this song but the original is brilliant. I found it a little incongruous that Albert King was signed to Stax. It was like melding Soul and Blues. But it worked. I don’t usually like Blues with a brass section but that guitar playing…..
The song has a mixture of reality with an addition of humour. Great stuff. Some great lyrics.
Albert King – Born Under A Bad Sign Lyrics
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 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…
