Sometimes I fe

And once in a
while I feel l
ike bein' dry
But we're doom

rowned by this
feeling we su
rround
So I hope that
I get old bef
ore I die
[Chorus]
ohhhhhhhhhhh
It's a long lo
ng rope they u
se to hang you
soon I hope
And I wonder w
hy this hasn't
happened, why

And I think ab
out the dirt t
hat I'll be we
aring for a sh
irt
And I hope tha
t I get old be
fore I die
