T-Bone Walker Mean Old World

This is a mean old world, baby, to live in by yourself This is a mean old world to live in by your self When you can't get the woman you love, you know she's loving someone else Well, I drink to keep from worrying and I smile to keep from crying I drink to keep from worrying, baby, I smile to keep from crying That's to keep the public from knowing just what I have on my mind Some day, some day, baby, I'll be six feet in my grave Some day, some day, darling, I'll be six feet in my grave And, I won't be around here to be mistreated, darling, like a low-down slave
