1. Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad.

2. My fishin' pole's broke, the creek is full of sand.

I've had lots of luck, but it's all been bad.

My woman run away with another man.

No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll Never Get Out of This World A - live.

No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll Never Get Out of This World A - live.

1ST BRIDGE:

A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch.

And I was living high until that fatal day

A lawyer proved I wasn't borned I was only hatched!

3. Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down.

If I jumped in the River I would probably drown.

No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll Never Get Out of This World A - live.

2ND BRIDGE:

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 nickle I cou'd tell ya if it was heads or tails!

4. 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 A - live.
