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 she's 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'
That's to keep the public from knowin'
Just what I have on my mind
