Chant of the Blues (Dog Gone Unlucky Blues) - Nat King Cole Trio

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
