I'll Never get you out of this world alive Songtext
von Hank Williams

Now, you′re lookin' at a man that′s gettin' kind-a mad
I had a-lots of luck, but it's all been bad

No matter how I struggle and strive
I′ll never get out of this world alive

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 distant uncle passed away
And left me quite a batch
And I was livin'g high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved, I wasn′t born
That I was only hatched

Ev'rything′s again' 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
Is 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
