Bad Luck Lyrics by Sanford Clark

Lowdown Blues

1961

Standing on the corner
Feeling bad
Looking for the woman
That left me sad
Big black cat
Long black bird
Got my name carved
On the side of her

Bad bad luck
Is back again
Looks like bad luck's
My only friend

Walking down main street
With a broken heart
I was a fool to love her
From the start
Little green devil
With the neon tail
Sitting on my shoulder
All ain’t well

Bad bad luck
Is back again
Looks like bad luck's
My only friend

Sitting on a park bench
With a troubled mind
Never had a great woman
I get the other kind
Cat on the left side
Devil on the right
I heard someone say
He won't sleep tonight

Bad bad luck
Is back again
Looks like bad luck’s
My only friend
