Say, you wanna hear a sad song?

Oh about somebodys love just gone wrong.

Say you feel you wanna cry?

Well come over to me then, I'm a hard luck guy.

I've got me a sad story about love that has let me down.

I've got me a sad story about a little clown, yeah I'm a hard luck guy.

Say, you wanna hear something blue?

Well man I sure got one for you.

The first little girl that I ever had, went off one day, and left me sad.

So naturally I looked for another, and she left me,

for her dear old mother.

But I knew a little girl with a charm

til I saw her walking on another man's arm.

Say you wanna hear somebody moan?

Yeah I ain't got no home.

Say, you want to hear some trembling lips?

Well man, I'm ready to quit.

I'm a hard luck guy.

I can't seem to get a grip on this love.

It always, it always passed me by yeah.

I need, I need love.

Yeah, I need someone I can come home to.

I'm a hard luck guy oh yeah yeah.
