I'll Never Get Out of this World Alive

Instrumental
Now you're lookin' at a man, who's feeling mighty mad
I had a lotta luck but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle an' strive
I never get out 'dis world alive
My fishing pole is broke
The creek is full of sand
My woman run off with another man
No matter how I struggle an' strive
I never get out 'dis world alive
My distant uncle passed away
Helped me quite a bit
I was livin' well 'til that fateful day
Although I proved I wasn't only born I was only had
Everything agin' me and it got me down
If I jumped in the river I would surely drown
No matter how I struggle an' strive
I never get out 'dis world alive, oh yeah brother
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' on my feet
Full a holes an' nails
Buddy if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell if it was head or tails
I ain't gonna a worry, wrinklin' my brow
'Cause nothing gonna work, I'll ride no hour
No matter how I struggle an' strive
I never get out 'dis world alive, ah bring it home
