"Yer lookin' at a man who's gettin' kinda mad.
I had alotta luck, but it's all been bad.
No matter how I struggle an' strive
I'll never get outa this world alive.

Muh fishin' pole's broke, the creek is full of sand.
Muh woman run away with another man.
No matter....

A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch;
An' I wuz livin' high until the fatal day
A lawyer proved I wuznt borned, I was only hatched.

Well, evahthang's agin me an' it's got me down.
If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown.
No matter....

These worn out shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Is full of holes and nails;
And buddy, if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell ya 'f it was heads or tails.

I ain't gonna worry wrinkles in my brow,
'Cuz nuthin's evah gonna be alright nohow.
No matter how I struggle and strive,
I'll never git outa this world alive."
as the man said. Maybe what the planes are spraying is a brain tonic. It's been over 30 years since I've been able to remember so much of that song. One of the Hanks.   Tw
