Dying by the Hour |
It’s an old story, every time it’s a doggone man! |
It’s an old story, every time it’s a doggone man! |
But when that thing is gone you, |
you just drift from hand to hand! |
I’d drink up all this acid, if it wouldn’t burn me so, |
I’d drink up all this acid, if it wouldn’t burn me so, |
Then telephone the devil, that’s the only place I’d go! |
Once I weighed two hundred, I’m nothin' but skin and bone, |
Once I weighed two hundred, I’m nothin' but skin and bone, |
I would always laugh, but it’s nothin' but a moan and a groan! |
Lord, I’m dyin' by the hour about that doggone man of mine, |
I’m dyin' by the hour 'bout that doggone man of mine, |
He said he didn’t love me, that is why I’m dyin' an' losin' my mind! |
