lyrics

VERSE 1:
I'm not fit for anyone's daughter
Find an orphan, find an orphan

Ain't no cup for to drown my sorrow
Try an ocean, try an ocean

I can't stop shaking when I'm sober
Got no medicine-choose your poison

Amelia won't take my hand in marriage
Ask again with your hand on a gun

CHORUS:
I don't need no cure for my sorrow
Just need an ear to borrow

You don't need a shoulder to cry on
Just find a limb to hang your head from

VERSE 2:
Got one leg that's shorter than the other
Take an inch of the bottom of the right one

Can't afford to visit my family
Get arrested and sent to prison

GO TO CHORUS

SOLO

VERSE 3:
Ain't had a meal since I cursed my boss out
If you're hungry than swallow your tongue

Ain't made a nickel since I busted my bow string
Sell your fiddle and your case and be done

GO TO CHORUS TWICE

FINAL VERSE:
Lying awake for the sound of my heartbeat
Change positions from the fetus to the corpse
