Hard Luck Bad News

Hard Luck Bad News

Hard luck and bad news

Has followed me from town to town

All my life my lucks been down

I'm getting so weary

I don't have one friend

Folks turn their backs when i'm around

Where i walk the grass turns brown

No one will come near me

Hard luck and bad news

Hard luck and bad news

If you were in my shoes you'd die

My life's been lonely

I've never heard a kindly word

Ugly names is all i've heard

And mean is how they treat me

Nobody trusts me

They blame me for the fires in town

Claim that hell is where i'm bound

And pray that God will speed me

Hard luck and bad news

Hard luck and bad news

If you were in my shoes you'd die

Life's not worth livin'

My sorrows more than i can say

Tomorrow's just another day

I hate to see the sun rise

Yet maybe someday

I'll find a man to call a friend

I'll be his friend until the end

In loneliness my heart cries

Hard luck and bad news

Hard luck and bad news

If you were in my shoes you'd die

Hard luck and bad news

Hard luck and bad news

If you were in my shoes you'd die
