Lyrics of Mean Old World by T-Bone Walker
verse
Yes, this is a mean old world
Baby, to live in by yourself
Yes, this is a mean old world
Baby, to live in by yourself
bridge
Well, you can't get the woman you love
'Cause you know she's lovin' someone else
verse
Yes, I drink to keep from worryin'
Why will I smile to keep from cryin'?
Yes, I drink to keep from worryin'
Why will I smile to keep from cryin'?
verse
That's to keep the public from knowin'
Just what I have on my mind
verse
Someday, someday, baby
I'll be six feet in the grave
Someday, someday, baby
I'll be six feet in the grave
outro
Then I won't be right here in the street, darling
Like a low down dirty slate
Writer(s): Aaron Walker
