lyrics

she wanders up the bar, loose change in her hand
and she drops her pack on the floor
looks at the tender, says,
"sir, give me whatever you can,
as long as it's strong, I don't care much anymore
cause I've been out of luck for awhile now
born under a bad sign
I'll trade you a story for just one smile
how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
beautiful, beautiful girl moving gracefully
what a mystery you are
hair tucked in her hat
switchblade in her shoe that she's used several times before
swallows her drink, grins, the burn is acute
she says, "I don't get whiskey like that much anymore
cause I've been out of luck for awhile
born under a bad sign
I'll trade you a story for just one smile
how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
beautiful, beautiful girl watching silently
what a mystery you are
she sets down her glass, stands, and picks up her bag
smiles and says, "goodbye"
clothes are tattered and torn, merely feathers and rags
"winter is coming, I'll see you on the sunny side"
beautiful, beautiful girl wandering carelessly
what a mystery you are
"cause I've been out of luck for awhile
born under a bad sign
I'll trade you a story for just one smile
how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
