Joe Offer Lyr Add: Bad Luck John (Joe Crookston) (7) RE: Lyr Add: Bad Luck John (Joe Crookston) 29 Jan 17

The first time I heard this song was when I was working on the Rise Again Songbook. I was at a storytelling festival today, and I heard the same story, set in China. A series of events took place over a number of years. Some people said each event was a blessing, but a wise man said that the event might or might not be a blessing.

Have any of you heard other versions of this plot, either in song or story?
