Mean Old World
This is a mean old world to live in by your self
When you can't get the woman you love, you know she's
loving someone else
Well, I drink to keep from worrying and I smile to
keep from crying
I drink to keep from worrying, baby, I smile to keep
from crying
That's to keep the public from knowing just what I
have on my mind
Some day, some day, baby, I'll be six feet in my
grave
Some day, some day, darling, I'll be six feet in my
grave
And, I won't be around here to be mistreated, darling,
like a low-down slave
