Mean Old World- Sam Cooke

This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
This is a mean world to be alone without someone to call your own
This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself


Mean Old World- Little Walter (Walter Jacobs)/Eric Clapton

This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else.

I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
Guess you don't love me, babe, loving mister so-and-so.

Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
I guess you don't love me, gonna pack my things and go.


Dis Ole World Is Er Mean World- Tartt Collection

Dis ole world is er mean world to try and live in
To try and live in until you die.
Without a mother, Lord, without a father
Without a sister, Ain't got no brother
Dis ole world is er mean to try and live in
To try and live in until you die.

You got ter cry sometimes to try and live in
To try and live in until you die.

You got ter pray so hard to try and live in
To try and live in until you die.

Lord, dis ole world is er mean to try and live in
To try and live in until you die.

You got ter moan so hard to try and live in
To try and live in until you die.
