Mean Old World

This is a mean old world, baby, to live in by yourself

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
