This is a little closer to the way Brownie sang it:

DON'T PITY ME

You put me down, goin' up the hill
Believin' in your heart that someday I'd stand still
But you know, life's just one little bitter pill so don't pity me

I've hardened my heart. have no more pain
Well, ev'ry loss don't you know's gonna be my gain
An' You know time changes ev'rything so don't pity me

Bridge:
And I can walk by myself, talk by myself
I don't even have to bother you
Oh friends I guess my only happiness
Is to hold to on to my blues

Skies are blue, So am I
Pretendin' I'm happy. God knows that I'm dissatisfied
But I'm just too, too damn evil to cry so don't pity me

Bridge:
Well once upon a time all your time was my time all the time
Now it seems your time for me is gone
An' havin' a little tough luck. But ain't gonna give up
I'm gonna keep on, keepin' on.

Skies are blue, So am I
Pretendin' I'm happy. God knows that I'm dissatisfied
But I'm just too, too mean to cry so don't pity me
