This is a mean, old world Try livin' in it myself This is a mean, old world Try livin' in it myself And the one you been lovin' Has gone away and left I got the blues Gon' pack my things and go I got the blues Gon' catch that train and go And it seem like to me I'm just an unlucky so-and-so My friends all stand around And can't help me and I can't help them Me and my friends all stand around me Don't you know I can't help them and they can't help me And we're all broken down Like hobos on the road
