Mr.Bad Luck
Jimi Hendrix · Other Songs - Jimi Hendrix
Look over yonder here come the blues
The thirteenth of any time, powered by fools
I can see 'em comin'
Wearing a blue armoured coat
You're sittin' here with your violins
Hittin' wrong notes
Look over yonder, he's comin' my way
When he's around, I never have a happy day
(you even bust my guitar strings)
Look over yonder, look over yonder, look over yonder etc.
Look over yonder
Well, he's talkin' to my baby
They found my peace pipe on her
Now they're draggin' her away
Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around
Well, he's knockin' on my door
How my house is tumblin' down
Now don't you come no closer
The path is keepin' me bolder
Wait by my door baby
Unless you want to start another war
Look over yonder, hey
Look over yonder
Look over yonder
Look over yonder
The thirteenth of any time, powered by fools
I can see 'em comin'
Wearing a blue armoured coat
You're sittin' here with your violins
Hittin' wrong notes
Look over yonder, he's comin' my way
When he's around, I never have a happy day
(you even bust my guitar strings)
Look over yonder, look over yonder, look over yonder etc.
Look over yonder
Well, he's talkin' to my baby
They found my peace pipe on her
Now they're draggin' her away
Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around
Well, he's knockin' on my door
How my house is tumblin' down
Now don't you come no closer
The path is keepin' me bolder
Wait by my door baby
Unless you want to start another war
Look over yonder, hey
Look over yonder
Look over yonder
Look over yonder
Mr. Bad Luck
Jimi Hendrix's 'Mr. Bad Luck' stands as a haunting exploration of fate and misfortune, delivered with his signature electric guitar work and vocal intensity. While often associated with the psychedelic era, the track showcases Hendrix's ability to blend blues roots with experimental rock, creating a moody atmosphere that reflects the song's lyrical themes. The recording captures the raw energy of his live performances, where he frequently pushed the boundaries of distortion and feedback to evoke a sense of impending doom. As a standalone piece, it highlights his unique voice and guitar technique, offering a glimpse into the darker side of his discography that complements his more upbeat tracks.
