so this is a story,
it's about a man
who gives up his life to live down by the river
and uh..
well everybodies worried about him
but..
he says hes gonna do what hes gonna do and i guess well..
this is how it goes


shes going down to the river she says
to find that lonesome man

he's been talking through his liver she says
yeah but he's doing just the best that he can

she brings a pitch pipe and an old guitar
to see just how he's doin'
well and
well he'll sing her a song she says
it's just something to keep him movin'

cuz when your world comes crashing in
and you just can't seem to win
and everybody, in this whole goddamn world
keeps on asking you where you've been

then you say

babababababababababababababa
badadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada

"well you tell me not to worry" he says
"about what other people think
But how am i supposed to tune them out
if they're the one's providing the drinks?

i traded my whole life to be a gator down in the swamp
but i can't breathe under water babe
and all of my teeth are gone"

and when your world comes crashin in
and you just can't seem to win
and everybody in this whole goddamn world
keeps on asking you where you've been


then you say

babababababababababababababa
badadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada

that's just the way things were for a while

until one day, well, a young lady came along and uh

so..

so she handed him his guitar
she said "baby come on and sing me a song"
an all of the birds and the bees
and the snakes up in the trees
well they all started to singin along

they sang
"there's somethin about singing a sorrowful tune
a song that's so sad and so blue
that you just cannot help but to feelin' a little better
when everybody's singin' with you

and they all sang

babababababababababababababa
badadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada

and when your world comes crashin' in
and you just can't seem to win
and everybody, in this whole goddamn world
keeps on asking you where you've been

then you say

babababababababababababababa
badadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada

whoaaa whooaa
