Did you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail?
Did you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail?
Always keeps you broke, always keeps you in jail.
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, [lost] all I can call mine.
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.
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."
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.
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.
