(Nathaniel Cole)
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today
Just got the news that my best gal has left me to stay
Things were pretty rosy,
We got along so fine
Until another guy moved in
And handed her a line
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today
So I decided to try and get her off my mind
Started to walkin', to see what enjoyment I'd find
Was invited to a party,
Then there was a fight
A fella got a whippin'
You guessed it right
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today
