Mean Old World - Original

Yes, this is a mean old world Baby, to live in by yourself Yes, this is a mean old world Baby, to live in by yourself

Well, you can't get the woman you love 'Cause you know she's lovin' someone else

Yes, I drink to keep from worryin' Why will I smile to keep from cryin'? Yes, I drink to keep from worryin' Why will I smile to keep from cryin'?

That's to keep the public from knowin' Just what I have on my mind

Someday, someday, baby I'll be six feet in the grave Someday, someday, baby I'll be six feet in the grave

Then I won't be right here in the street, darling Like a low down dirty slate
