(Hank Williams - Fred Rose)

Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad
I've 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 is broke the creek is full of sand
My woman ran 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' high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched.

Everythin's again't me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would probly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

--- Instrumental ---

These shabby shoe 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 if it was heads or tails.

I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no how
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive...
