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! |
