I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

Now, you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind-a mad
 I had a-lots of 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
 A distant uncle passed away
 And left me quite a batch
 And I was livin'g high until that fatal day
 A lawyer proved, I wasn't born
 That I was only hatched
 Ev'rything's again' 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' 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 nohow
 No matter how I struggle and strive
 I'll never get out of this world alive
