Memphis Minnie - My Butcher Man

I M a Bad Luck Woman

Every man I get, if he don't get sick, he will die
Doggone woman take from him, he's a doggone fly

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, you know he worked very hard
Just as soon as I got him, he lost his doggone job

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was a railroad man
Just as soon as I got him, everything went out his doggone hands

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was long and tall
Every time I look around, he is kickin' at someone other man's jaw

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why

Okay, my boy, play for me

That's what I am talking about

Well, the next man I got, he was short and fat
I couldn't keep him because he wasn't taught like that

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got, he was a sand hawk in the sea
I had him two days, and he got drowned away from me

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why

Well, the next man I got bought me a hat and a dress
And every time I look around, the police had him under a-doggone-rest

I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman
I'm a bad luck woman, I can't see the reason why
