NOW YOU'RE LOOKIN'
AT A MAN
THAT'S GETTIN'
KIND 'A MAD
I HAD A LOTS O' 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 BATCH
AND I WAS LIVIN' HIGH
UNTIL THE FATAL DAY
MY LAWYER PROVED
I WADN'T BORNED
I WAS ONLY HATCHED
EVERYTHING'S A'GIN ME
AND IT'S GOT ME DOWN
IF I JUMPED IN
THE RIVER
I WOULD PROBABLY
DROWN
NO MATTER HOW
I STRUGGLE AND STRIVE
I'LL NEVER GET OUT
OF THIS WORLD ALIVE
16 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
THESE SHABBY SHOES
I'M WEARIN'
ALL THE TIME
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
NO HOW
NO MATTER HOW
I STRUGGLE AND STRIVE
I'LL NEVER GET OUT
OF THIS WORLD ALIVE
