Mean Old World - T-Bone Walker

This is a mean old world

Baby to live in by yourself

This is a mean old world

Baby to live in by yourself

When you can't get the woman you love

Yet you know she's loving someone else

Well I drink to keep from worrying

Guys and I smile to keep from crying

I drink to keep from worrying

Baby you know 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'm be sixteen feeling my way

Some day some day darling

I'm be sixteen feeling my dream

And I won't be right mistreat darling

Like low down slim
