Johnny Cash, Flatt & Scruggs, Papa Charlie Jackson - Bad Luck Woman Blues Lyrics

Did you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail?
Did you ever have a bad luck woman on your trail?
Always keeps you broke, always keeps you in jail.

I used to be happy, , all the time,
I used to be happy, , all the time,
but soon as I got this woman, all I can call mine.

My bad luck woman is a jinx and a worry too,
My bad luck woman is a jinx and a worry too,
I can't get rid of her no matter what I do.

I tried to make her quit me by callin' another woman's name,
I tried to make her quit me by callin' another woman's name,
She said, "That is all right, he loves me just the same."

She keeps a ra't's foot in her hand at night when she goes to sleep,
She keeps a ra't's foot in her hand at night when she goes to sleep,
to keep her, so I won't make no midnight creep.

My bad luck woman keeps me feelin' blues,
My bad luck woman keeps me feelin' blues,
I can't get rid of her, she sticks to me like glue.
