Mean Old World - Count Basie/Joe Williams

作词：Joe Williams/Count Basie

作曲：Willie Broonzy/Joe Williams/Count Basie

Baby this is a mean old world to live in by yourself

It is a mean old world to live in by yourself

You can't get the woman you love

And you know she love somebody else

Yes I drink to keep from worrying

And I smile to keep from crying

I drink to keep from worrying

Make a smile to keep from crying

Last just to keep the public from knowing

What is on my worry worry mind

Well someday someday baby

How be secrets my gray

Someday someday baby

Are you be secrets in my gray

Then I won't be in wrong

To be treat it like a low down there is left

no no no baby oh no
