Well my life seems such a mess and I don`t know what to say
Said I can`t go on a living this way
I`d like to go down to the river and drown me if I could
But I`d go down remembering so it wouldn`t do no good
I`d like to leave this thought behind but it caught me every day
And I can`t go on a living this way
Well I`m always a moanin` I`m always a groanin` I got these weary blues
I`m always a cryin` I`m always a sighin` it`s always over you
Well I feel too bad to leave this town but I`m too sick to stay
Well I can`t go on a living this way

Well my life seems...
