Hard Luck Story Lyrics

I found my woman playing
and it broke this young boy's heart
But let me tell you people
this is just the start
A hard luck story
a tale of misery
I've got so much trouble
I'm sad as I can be

I just got back from Chicago
I play but I just can't win
Looks like I'll die of starvation
before my ship comes in
Its a hard luck story
a tale of misery
I've got so much trouble
I'm sad as I can be

Yeah
Now I used to live like a king, baby
I had all I could want and more
But I was born with Gypsy blood
and Now I'm sleeping on the floor

It's a hard luck story
A tale of misery. Ah Yea yea
I've got so much trouble, and
I'm as sad as I can be
