You know I’m sorry Darlin’
But I can’t take you down to Tunica this time
We got bills a pilin’
And we’re coming down to our last dime

And you’re a bad luck charm
I can’t roll a seven when you’re on my arm
Honey you’re a bad luck charm

Two hungry babies cryin’
Lord knows I got responsibilities
I feel a hot streak comin’
And I can’t gamble it away on sympathy

Cause You’re a bad luck charm
Now honey don’t feel bad, you don’t mean no harm
But girl you’re just a bad luck charm

You stood there wide mouth starin’
When I tore out of the liquor store that day
I tried to run around you
And if I didn’t trip I might’ve got away

You’re a bad luck charm
Cost me two long years on the County Farm
Honey you’re a bad luck charm

Cause You’re a bad luck charm
Now honey don’t feel bad, you don’t mean no harm
But girl you’re just a bad luck charm
