I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive Lyrics

Now you're [F] lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind-a mad I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad No [C7] matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world a-[F] 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 [Bb] distant uncle passed away [Bb7] and [F] left me quite a batch [F7] And [Bb] I was living high until that fatal [Bb7] day A lawyer [C7] proved I wasn't born I was only hatched.---[F] 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' all the time Are 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.
