Hard Luck Child

Hard Luck Child - Skip James

Written by：Skip James

I've been to the nation

And I've been to the territo'

I've been to the nation

I've been to the territo'

And I'm a hard luck child

Catch the devil everywhere I go

You work out very long

Long old lonesome road

You work out every how long

Long old lonesome road

I'm got to leave from here

Gotta catch the first train that blows

She used to be mine

But look who got her now

She used to be my girl

Look who got her now

And he sure can't keep her

She don't mean him no good no how

Now I b'lieve to my soul

My mama's bad luck child

I b'lieve to my soul my

Mama bad luck child

And if I wouldn't women would run me wild
