normal">Bad Luck Keeps Knockin’
And I couldn’t sleep
So I got a bottle
And I drank from it deep
All the misery around me
It’s clear to see
I’m the sorriest sight
A man could ever be
Broke and busted tattered and torn
Been rollin’ snake eyes since the day I was born
Wish I could find a way to get what I’m lookin’ for
But that bad luck keeps knockin’ on my front door
She come dressed real pretty
Lookin just like a queen
When you think you got her number
She’ll pick your bones clean
She’ll have you wrapped ‘round her finger
Before you know what to do
She’s a real sweet talker
Make a fool out of you
Broke and busted tattered and torn
She took my mojo and my black cat bone
Wish I could find a way to get what I’m lookin’ for
But that bad luck keeps knockin’ on my front door
Temptation in her eyes
So hard to deny
She’ll tell you lies and then laugh when you cry
‘Cause she’s the devil in disguise
- - -
Broke and busted tattered and torn
I give her all I got but she keeps askin’ for more
Wish I could find a way to get what I’m lookin’ for
But that bad luck keeps knockin’ on my front door
Now I finished that bottle
And here she come again
She looked so fine
I had to let her in
She take me by the hand
And I ain’t got a prayer
She say my time gonna come
But I’m already there
Broke and busted tattered and torn
She got my mojo and my black cat bone
Wish I could find a way to get what I’m lookin’ for
But that bad luck keeps knockin’ on my front door
Broke and busted tattered and torn
Been rollin’ them snake eyes since the day I was born
Wish I could find a way to get what I’m lookin’ for
But that bad luck keeps knockin’
Oh that bad luck keeps knockin’
Yea that bad luck keeps knockin’ on my front door
