Hard Luck Blues - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I'm simply busted and I'm blue

'Cause I'm so down and out

I'm just disgusted through and through

Here's what it's all about

I loved a man, his name was Jimmy

Born down in Alabam'

He always had a hand full of "gimme"

A mouth full of "thank you, ma'am"

Hard luck, bad luck seems to follow me around

And it seems to keep me all-in out and down

Black cat, polecat pass me by twos and twos

Guess that's why I'm troubled, worried with these bad luck blues
