When Bad Luck Is On You - Tampa Red

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
