[Verse 1]
I hate the day
I was born

I hate the day, I hate the day
You know the day that I was born

Ever since I been born
A dark cloud been hangin over my head

I never see the sunshine
The clouds, they over my head all the time

Oh I never see the sunshine
Oh dark cloud hang over my head
All the time

I was born on a bad sign

Oh trouble, all the time

I wonder when
Is my trouble gonna end?

Oh I wonder when, I wonder when
Oh
Oh when my trouble gonna end?
I was born
I was born on a bad sign

And a dark cloud hangs over my head all the time

My mother, father died and left me
Left me on my own

When I was twelve years old
Oh I was drifting and drifting
Oh drifting, drifting

Hey, yeah hey
Hey, yeah hey
Drifting through the land

Drifting and drifting
Drifting through the land

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah

I was born
On a bad sign
When I was born, that mornin
Was a dark cloud, dark cloud
Hangin, hangin
Over my head
Ever since that day
I never seen, I never seen
I never seen the sunshine
Dark cloud, dark cloud
Mean bad luck, mean bad luck
Sun never shines, sun never shines
Oh into my life, into my life
Oh-hoh
Hey
Some day, some day, some day
I believe
The cloud gonna pass away
Some day I believe
The dark cloud gonna pass away
Let the sunlight, let the sunlight
Shine into my heart
