| I’ve lived a life but nothin' I’ve gained |
| Each day I’m full of sorrow and pain |
| No one seems to care enough for poor me, |
| To give me a word of sympathy |
| Oh, me! |
| Oh, me! |
| Wonder what will become of poor me? |
| No father to guide me, no mother to care |
| Must bear my troubles alone |
| Not even a brother to help me share |
| This burden I must bear alone |
| Oh, me! |
| Oh, me! |
| Wonder what will become of poor me? |
| I’m settin' and thinkin' of the days gone by They filled my heart with pain |
| I’m too weak to stand and too strong to cry |
| But I’m forgittin' it all in vain |
| Oh, me! |
| Oh, me! |
| Wonder what will become of poor me? |
| I’ve traveled and wandered almost everywhere |
| To git a little joy from life |
| Still I’ve gained nothin' but wars and despairs |
| Still strugglin' in this world of strife |
| Oh, me! |
| Oh, me! |
| Wonder what will become of poor me? |
