[00:06.697]Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind-a mad
[00:10.945]I had lots of luck but it's all been bad
[00:14.957]No matter how I struggle and strive
[00:19.208]I'll never get out of this world alive
[00:23.449]My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
[00:27.200]My woman run away with another man
[00:31.194]No matter how I struggle and strive
[00:35.200]I'll never get out of this world alive
[00:40.446]A distant uncle passed away
[00:44.698]And left me quite a batch
[00:48.204]And I was living high until that fatal day
[00:52.452]A lawyer proved I wasn't born, I was only hatched
[00:56.944]Every thing's agin' me and it's got me down
[01:01.195]If I jumped in the river I would probably drown
[01:04.944]No matter how I struggle and strive
[01:09.195]I'll never get out of this world alive
[01:46.696]These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
[01:50.702]Is full of holes and nails
[01:54.695]And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
[01:58.455]I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails
[02:03.206]I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
[02:07.453]Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no-how
[02:11.447]No matter how I struggle and strive
[02:15.699]I'll never get out of this world alive
