I think it originally came from an old Irish or Gaelic saying.
Nah, it was an excellent song from the blues/rock band Cream.

Lyrics:

Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Bad luck and troubles my only friend.
I've been down ever since I was ten.

Chorus

You know, wine and women is all I crave.
A big bad woman's gonna carry me to my grave.

Chorus

First verse

Born under a bad sign.
I've been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck.
If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldnt have no luck at all.

Born under a bad sign.
Born under a bad sign.

Ut ho, spoke against a god.
Kinda like saying something critical about the Packers up here.

of which you speak, I disagree, but it's an interesting rendition.

liked Alvin Lee a bit better, though.


Hmmm, seen him 3 times in concert and never heard that version. I'm
pretty sure what I'm talking about is on Crash n Burn 1980, studio
version. My stuff is still packed, the 3'X4'X5' crate of LP's is right
there and I have no room for a turn table even if I could find the box
of electronics.

I wish I had just a hood to fix for the witch. You should see building
a house, she can be down right unreasonable. Oh, and I hear about why
is the shop bigger than the house every week. LOL

I'm fairly sure Albert King did "Born Under a Bad Sign" first.
