๐Ÿ“œ Lyrics

I'm like a fox without a hole
A ship without a sail
Like a dog who's got a dozen cans
Danglin' on his tail

I'd rather be dead
And buried in my grave, mean old grave

Just soon as I wallow in the mud
And be treated like a whore
I feel like I'm somebody's old sheep killing dog

I'd rather be dead
And buried in my grave, mean old grave

It's a man has got me sniffing
Sniffing dope and drinking gin
It's another one that put me in
This old hole I'm in

He hurt me when he left
Nobody but the lord can tell
I asked him where's he going
He said, "Go to hell!"

I'd rather be dead
And buried in my grave, mean old grave

Dug a hole for his picture
Face it to the ground
Sprinkled salt around
To keep him from around

I'd rather be dead
And buried in my grave, mean old grave

That man is my master
And I'm nothing but a slave
That's why I'd rather be dead
And buried in my grave, mean old grave
