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.
