about

An updated and re-imagined-for-the-times Memphis Minnie tune, dealing with the struggle of being down-and-out.

lyrics

You know how it feels, when nothing works out
Lord it really makes me want to scream and shout!
I’m a hard luck woman, I’m a hard luck woman
I’m a hard luck woman, don’t know the reason why

I was ten feet tall, cause I just got paid
And I can’t even cover my bills today!
I’m a hard luck woman, I’m a hard luck woman
I’m a hard luck woman, don’t know the reason why

Work it!

I try every day, and I work very hard
The things that happen, don’t get me started!
I’m a hard luck woman, I’m a hard luck woman
I’m a hard luck woman, don’t know the reason why

I’m a hard luck woman, don’t know the reason why
