Now youre [f] lookin at a man thats gettin kind-a mad
I had lots of luck but its all been bad
No [c7] matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world a-[f] live.
My fishin poles broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world alive.
A [bb] distant uncle passed away [bb7] and [f] left me quite a batch [f7]
And [bb] I was living high until that fatal [bb7] day
A lawyer [c7] proved I wasnt born
I was only hatched.---[f]
Evrythings agin me and its got me down
If I jumped in the river I would probly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world alive.
These shabby shoes Im wearin all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails.
Im not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
cause nothins ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world alive.
(additional verses)
I could buy a sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat
No matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world alive.
If it was rainin gold I wouldnt stand a chance
I wouldnt have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
Ill never get out of this world alive.
Hank Williams (1923-1953) è considerato uno dei più grandi cantautori country di tutti i tempi. Nato in Alabama, negli Stati Uniti, Williams ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale suonando in locali e radio locali. Nel 1947 ha firmato con la MGM Records e ha subito raggiunto il successo con brani come «Your Cheatin' Heart» e «Hey, Good Lookin'». La sua musica era caratterizzata da melodie malinconiche, testi sinceri e una voce potente e emozionante. Williams ha venduto milioni di dischi durante la sua breve carriera, influenzando generazioni di artisti country e diventando un'icona della musica americana.
