[Verse 1]
Oh, I'm really feeling mighty low
No, no, no, I got no place that I can go
So I've got some blues to sing
And oh, so much remembering, woe

[Verse 2]
Black cats, keep away from me
Take my advice, go shinny up a tree
I got hard luck, the hardest kinda luck that you'll find
I ain't lyin', I've got the bluest kinda blues
Drivin' me right outta my mind

[Verse 3]
She's gone, said toodle-loo
I kissed her goodbye and my, my, my money too
I've got hard luck, the hardest kinda luck you've seen
I mean, the way I'm runnin' lately
My lucky number is thirteen

[Verse 4]
Where do I belong? Everything I do is wrong
All wrong, wrong as can be
Who's stacking all the decks?
Lady luck has got the hex on me
I'm on her knee da da da da
[Verse 5]
Shove off, boy, I'm warning you
This thing I caught, you know could be catching too
I've got hard luck, the hardest kinda luck there can be
Yessiree, I guess hard luck always chooses
Natural born losers like me, ooh ah
