Edna Hicks — Hard Luck Blues lyrics

Lyrics

I’m simply busted and I’m blue
'Cause I’m so down and out
I’m just disgusted through and through
Here’s what it’s all about
I loved a man, his name was Jimmy
Born down in Alabam'
He always had a hand full of «gimme»
A mouth full of «thank you, ma’am»
Hard luck, bad luck seems to follow me around
Hard luck, bad luck seems to follow me around
And it seems to keep me falling out and down
Black cat, old cat
Pass me by, twos and twos
Black cat, old cat
Pass me by, twos and twos
Guess that’s why I’m troubled, worried with these bad luck blues
