I.

I ain’t got no life left
This fire’s growin’ dim
I spent up all my money
On wine and loose women.

CHORUS

The Lord made me a drifter
The rest is all my fault
He gave me all I needed
But I just dropped the ball.

II.

I ain’t got nothin’ left
Guess I’ll just give in
I threw away my money
On a horse who forgot to win.

(Chorus)

III.

I ain’t got no home now
My landlord’s kicked me out
I’m sleeping by the river
With the other worthless louts.

(Chorus)

IV.

If you see me comin’
You’d best to turn away
Cause my bad luck is dangerous
On even the brightest day.

(Chorus)

V.

People think I must be lonesome
That I deserve the things I get
But this Great Depression
Hasn’t gotten me yet!

(Chorus - repeat)
