Wait a minute, Jimmy, look here
I'm listenin'
As I was wakin' up this mornin'
Well well
Oh Lord, you know I felt pretty good
Yes I did
I began to stretch and yawn
What for Ray?
Just to see if I could
I can dig it
All at once I got a funny feelin'
That something around here was goin on wrong
So you know what I did Jimmy?
What?
I got up and I began to look all around for my baby
Was that it?
That was it, you know the woman had packed up and gone
Oh lord
That's why I say if everybody went to heaven
Hey, I believe I'd miss the call
But you see if it wasn't for bad luck,
Trying to tell you son
If it wasn't for bad luck, now now
Oh, oh, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Would you believe I wouldn't have no luck at all
Looka here Ray, you think your luck is bad?
Listen ta what happen to me
Alright
Now listen now
Got a tip on a horse someone gave me, hey hey
Yeah
Pawned my last suit to make the bet
No you didn't
Yes I did
Put every dime I had on him, ah
What?
Listen, you know he ain't showed up yet
Oh! Tell ya I got so disgusted now
Yeah
Said I'll go back home and sleep some more
Now that seem like the right thing to do
But by the time I got back to my room
Are you listenin' Ray?
Yeah yeah, I'm payin' attention
You know the landlord had padlocked my door
Why that dirty...
Tell ya a slow horse and a fast woman
Hey hey hey lord they sure did let me fall
That's why....
