Mean Old World - T-Bone Walker, Freddie Slack

This is a mean old world

Baby to live in by yourself

This is a mean old world

Baby to live in by yourself

Can’t get the woman you love

Cause you know shes lovin someone else

Well I drink to keep from worryin

Baby and I smile to keep from cryin'

Yes I drink to keep from worryin

And you know I smile to keep from cryin

Thats to keep the public from knowin

Just what I have on my mind
