The Little Willies - I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

Текст песни

Now you’re lookin' at a man that’s gettin' kind a mad
I had a lot of luck but it’s all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I’ll never get out of this world a live
My fishin' pole’s broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I’ll never get out of this world alive
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
I was doing fine until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn’t born
I was only hatched
Ev’rything’s agin' me and it’s got me down
If I jumped in the river I would prob’ly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I’ll never get out of this world alive
These shabby shoes I’m wearin' everyday
Is full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails
I’m not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin’s ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how I struggle and strive
I’ll never get out of this world alive
