Dyin' by the Hour

Lyrics

It's an old story, every time it's a doggone man
 ♪
 It's an old story, every time it's a doggone man
 ♪
 But when that thing is gone you
 You just drift from hand to hand
 ♪
 I'd drink up all this acid, if it wouldn't burn me so
 ♪
 I'd drink up all this acid, if it wouldn't burn me so
 ♪
 Then telephone the devil, that's the only place I'd go
 ♪
 Once I weighed two hundred, I'm nothin' but skin and bone
 ♪
 Once I weighed two hundred, I'm nothin' but skin and bone
 ♪
 I would always laugh, but it's nothin' but a moan and a groan
 ♪
 Lord, I'm dyin' by the hour about that doggone man of mine
 ♪
 I'm dyin' by the hour 'bout that doggone man of mine
 ♪
 He said he didn't love me, that is why I'm dyin' an' losin' my mind
