Hank Williams lyrics : I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive lyrics

I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive

Printer Friendly Version
Recorded by hank williams
Written by hank williams and fred rose

Capo: 1st fret key: f# play: f
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 livin'g 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.

(additional verses)
I could buy a sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
