Текст песни: I'll Never Get out Of This World Alive + перевод

Now you’re lookin' at a man that’s gettin' kind a mad

I had a lot of luck but it’s all been bad

No matter how I struggle and strive

I’ll never get out of this world a live

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

I was doing fine until that fatal day

A lawyer proved I wasn’t born

I was only hatched

Ev’rything’s agin' 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' everyday

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
