Songtexte: Tampa Red. When Bad Luck Is On You.

When bad luck is on you
You'll have tough breaks all the time
When bad luck is on you
You have tough breaks all the time

Looks like it's always cloudy
Looks like the sun don't never shine

Then everyone you love gon' leave you
And say they don't want you no more
Then everyone you love gon' leave you
And say they don't want you no more

It makes you mean and you'll get evil
And do things you never done before

When bad luck is on you
Every time you look around
When bad luck is on you
Every time you look around

Everybody is trying to knock you
Yes, they're trying to tear you down

Play that thing, boy

Aw, who wouldn't be blue
Getting a break like that

When you're in bad luck
You know how it feels then, awful

So if you ever get lucky
I'll tell you just what to do
So if you ever get lucky
Yes, I'll tell you just what to do

Forget all of those who was against you
Remember those who stood by you
