1. BAD LUCK

Some people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock 'n' roll,
You're always singin' the blues
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why,
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang your head down and cry

You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck

Thirteen's my lucky number,
To you it means stay inside.
Black cat done crossed my path,
No reason to run and hide.

You're looking through a cracked mirror,
No one really knows the reason why.
Your enemies are gettin' nearer,
Gonna hang down your head and cry

You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck

Some people go to church on Sundays,
Others they pray at home.

You tell them that there ain't no God,
That they're better off standin' alone.
You're always scratchin' at the eight ball,
No one really knows the reason why.
You get to the top and then you fall,
Gonna hang down your head and cry.


2. ALONE & FORSAKEN

We met in the springtime
When the blossoms unfold,
The pastures were green
And the meadows were gold.
Our love was in flower
As summer grew on.
Her love like the leaves
Now have withered and gone.
The roses have faded
There's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning
Don't sing anymore.
The grass in the valley
Is starting to die,
And out in the darkness
The whippoorwills cry.

[Chorus]
Alone and forsaken
By fate and by man.
Oh Lord if you hear me
Please hold my hand,
Oh please understand.

Oh where has she gone to,
Oh where can she be.
She may have forsaken
Some other like me.
She promised to honor,
To love and obey.
Each vow was a plaything
That she threw away.

[Chorus]

The darkness has fallen,
The sky has turned gray,
The hound in the distance
Is starting to bay.
I wonder, I wonder
What she's thinking of.
Forsaken, forgotten,
Without any love.

[Chorus]


3. BYE BYE BABY

I believed I was wrong but baby
Now I know, you and your evil
Ways gotta go. Take the key and
Break away these chains of love,
And I'll thank the good Lord
Above.
The radio's playin' a sad song

"Bye Bye Baby."
Well, maybe the others will
Believe your lies, you can tell
Those schoolboys your alibis.
And baby I'll catch you later on
Down the line, 'cause maybe I got
Better things on my mind.
The band's playin' a sad song

"Bye bye baby."
