Your Lookin At A Man That's Gettin Kinda Mad

I Had A Lotta Luck But It's All Been Bad

No Matter How I Struggle And Strive,

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive



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



My Distant Uncle Passed Away

And Left Me Quite A Mess

And I Was Livin High Until The Fatal Day

A Lawyer Proved I Wasn't Born I Was Only Hatched.



I'm Not Gonna Worry Wrinkles In My Brow

Cause Nothin's Ever Gonna Be Alright No How.

No Matter How I Struggle And Strive,

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive



These Shabby Shoes I'm Wearin All The Time

Are Full Of Holes And Nails

And Brother If I Stepped On Worn Out Dime

I Bet A Nickel I Could Tell You If It's Heads Or Tails



I'm Not Gonna Worry Wrinkles In My Brow

Cause Nothin's Ever Gonna Be Alright No How.

No Matter How I Struggle And Strive,

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive



No Matter How I Struggle And Strive,

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive
