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
