lyrics

Just a young boy been hangin’ round
Those southern juke joints where the guitars sound
Well you met the devil on the crossroads they say
When you came back round boy but you could play
But a whiskey bottle and a poisoned drop
Well they took you out before you reached the top

I was
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Well look out mama cause I was born to die

Just a happy go lucky child
In the Mississippi summer running wild
Well you got too fresh with the grocer’s wife
Men come round and they took your life
Mama she brought you back Chicago way
And to feed the fire she put you on display

I was
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Well look out mama cause I was born to die

Born a proud man in a backwards state
Doing all you can to change your brothers’ fate
But the man don’t like it when you stir the pot
And he took you out with a rifle shot
30 years you waited in your grave
For the hand of justice finally make him pay

I was
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
Well look out mama cause I was born to die
