My babe my babe, she don't do no way to comfort me My babe my babe, she don't do no way to comfort me She know that ain't no way, for a sweet little wife to be I'm in a worse fix now baby, than I ever been before I'm in a worse fix now baby, than I ever been before I'd rather be on the North Pole, living in the ice and snow Last time my baby quit me, I say I didn't no more want her around Last time my baby quit me, I say I didn't no more want her around But every time I see her smiling face, my kind-hearted feeling come down Love will make you do things, that you swear that you would not do Love will make you do things, that you swear that you would not do You know if you ever been in love, what I'm say ain't nothing strange to you I'm a hard-luck man, just as hard-luck as I can be I'm a hard-luck man, just as hard-luck as I can be If I didn't have good friends, I don't know what would become of me
