Bad luck ls killing me. 😢😢😢.. Such a lovely piece
this is my uncle joe savage of greenville,ms. he has past on now. but we LOVE and MISS him so much. would sing like this for us at my grandmother when I was a girl. he come home drunk and turn it-out. grand would have a fit and tell him to stop, he wouldn"t he keep on singing. and we would have a ball partying at home., he sing,dan playing the drums it would be a messy and LOTS of fun.we love it.!!! JOHNNIE your neice. we love uncle joe
Thank you.
Hi once again, Johnnie! How are you? The experience of watching Joe singing must have been pretty great!
.
As in the other video of this song, there are excerpts missing on the lyrics that I have tried writing down. I find difficulty regarding Joe's stylish vocal delivery. On the comments of the same other video, it appears as the fellow user Brian Alexander as well to have been wondering about the words.
.
This is why I would like to ask, will you please help understanding and writing down the lyrics?

"Bad Luck" (Joe the Savage, 1955 - as he says in the end of the video)

Got me _______
I can't see a thing
They got me _______ the padre
And I can't even write my name
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
_______ can't stand
No more _______
Now, look at here, boys
I wanna tell you something.
They got me killed, the taxes
And I don't have another dime
They got me killed, the children
And ain't none one of mine
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
_______ can't stand
No more _______
Boys, look at here
I wanna tell you one more thing
They got me (killed??) the padre (??)
And I can't even raise my hand
They got me (killed??) the mother (??)
And I will never harm a man
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me
_______ can't stand
No more _______
I'm gone-one
So, baby, so long
I'm so glad to have stumbled on this piece! When did Mr. Savage pass and how old was he when he passed?

The blues aint nothin but misery and injustice the poor livin, beutiful song. I wonder who sung it originally

He's coughing in the background; messing it up!
