Emiliana Torrini – I'm A Bad Luck Woman lyrics

( Memphis Minnie )

Every man i get, he won't get sick - he will die
Doggone woman take from him he's a doggone fly

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman i can't see the reason why

Well the next man i got, you know he worked very hard
Just as soon as i got him he lost his doggone job

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman i can't see the reason why

Well the next man i got he was a railroad man
Just as soon as i got him everything went out his doggone hands

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman i can't see the reason why

Well the next man i got he was long and tall
Everytime i look around he was kickin' at someone other mans jaw

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman i can't see the reason why

Wooooooh

Well the next man i got he was short and fat
I couldn't keep him because he wasn't taught like that

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman i can't see the reason why

Well the next man i got he was a sandhawk in the sea
I had him two days and he got drowned away from me

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman i can't see the reason why
