Bad Luck Blues

Baby did you hear about the bad luck
The bad luck that happened just about six months ago
Now did you hear about the bad luck
The bad luck that happened just about six months ago
Now my cousin Marvin got shot down
Just as he was walkin' out the do'
Now and he said please mister
Said please don't shoot me no mo'
Now and he said please mister
Said please don't shoot me no mo'
He said because my breath is gettin' short
And my heart is beatin' awful slow
And Marvin say I know I got some friends
I want somebody to go and get my mother for me
Marvin say I know I got some friends
I want somebody to go and get my mother for me
Say maybe she can help me with my trouble
People I'm in so much misery
And he say I hate to go leave my mother and father
I hate to go leave my cousin Sonny Boy insane
He say I hate to go leave my mother and father
Say I hate to go leave my cousin Sonny Boy insane
Now go te 'em if llthey be good they'll come to see me
