FRIDAY THE 13TH (Clayton Doley)

I was born on Friday the 13th
My mother died while she was having me
My daddy cried he couldn't raise me on his salary
So he robbed the local bank and they threw him in the penitentiary

I was born on Friday the 13th when I get knocked down somebody kicks me in the teeth

On the 13th night of the 13th day
13 doctors tried but 13 doctors failed
Now my mothers ghost appears to me in my dreams
She says yes the end is coming but no you won't be saved

I was born on Friday the 13th when I get knocked down somebody kicks me in the teeth

I was raised on the streets outside the gates of hell
Fear and hunger were my friends I knew them well
Bad luck and trouble followed me round like a bad smell
And my old friend desperation thew my money down the wishing well

I was born on Friday the 13th when I get knocked down somebody kicks me in the teeth
