Bad Luck

********************************************

Found a nickel on the sidewalk

Through the hole in my shoe

Kicked it down the drain

So what’s a man to do?

Chorus:

Bad luck, can’t seem to get ahead

Keep a goin’ like this

I’m goin’ t’ wind up dead

Used to have a job

Down at the lumber yard

Used to pay my rent

Before times got hard

Chorus:

Sister Bessie’s winkin’

Don’t mean me no good

Her man’s the meanest killer 

In this neighborhood

Chorus:

Earned a little bit of cash

To buy a bottle of wine

Slipped the bag and broke

Just as I was feelin’ fine! 

Chorus:

Mojo in my pocket

Dice begin to sing

In three quick rolls

I lose everything

Chorus:

Bad luck happens from time to time and there isn’t much you can do about it, except maybe get yourself some mojo. At one time we were lucky enough to get us a bit of mojo juice, and it worked really well. We gave some to the band. But eventually, that juice ran out. Things started getting a little tougher, not just for us but the whole dad-gum world. I know we’re all going to make it through this rough patch but it may be a while still. Music is magic and can heal what’s ailing!
