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......
    Black cats, keep away from me
  Take my advice, go shinning up a tree
  I got hard luck, the hardest kind a luck you'll find
  I ain't lyin', I've got the bluest kinda blues
  Drivin' me right outta my mind
    She's gone, said toodle-loo
  Kissed her good-bye 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
    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
    Shove off, oh I'm warning you
  This thing I caught, you know could be catchin' too
  I've got hard luck, the hardest kinda luck there can be
  Yes siree, I guess hard luck always chooses
  Natural born losers like me
  Oh ahhh!
