Bad Luck Everywhere You Go - C.W. Stoneking

Brother James got money

Put it in a '29 ford

Told everybody he was gonna

Hit that open road

That was a mean old racer

V8, yessiree

Lord, brother James knocked every

Leaf off the tree

Some said it was bad luck

Some said it was a bad old way to go

Boys it’s bad luck here

Bad luck everywhere you go

Sister Mattie’s husband

He’s workin' up the farm

Now she got another man

Put a mule in the barn

Telephone ring this mornin'

News was all around

Sometime last night

Mattie’s husband come back in town

Some said it was bad luck

Some said it was a bad old way to go

Boys but it’s bad luck here

Bad luck everywhere you go

I knew she didn’t love me

Way she lay down cross the bed

Drinkin' that moonshine whiskey

Talkin' out her head

I was born for trouble

And bad luck never strayed

Everybody knows a sandfoot woman

Tote a razor blade

Some said it was bad luck

Some said it was a bad old way to go

But you know it’s bad luck here

Bad luck everywhere you go
