Cried a lotta blues up and down the street

(I'd) lose everything I had but I would not lose the beat

Oh yeah, oh no!

Had a lotta lovin', bitter and the sweet

Bring you up in glory, drop you in defeat

Oh yeah, oh no!

Oh what a world!



chorus



Oh, what a world we live in

But it's the one we're given

Stand up and face the trouble!

Baby, I'm gonna love you

And you can try to love me too

Oh, yeah, oh, no! Oh, what a world!

Middle of the night, wake up in a sweat

The devil's gonna get me but he has not got me yet

Oh yeah, oh no!

Reach out and I hold you and we double up our love

If I wind up down below you will you watch me from above?

Oh, yeah oh, no!

Oh, what a world!



repeat chorus



Oh, yeah!

Baby keep hangin on

Oh, no!

Dont you ever let go

Oh, yeah!

There's a wind comin' up

Oh, no!

And the sun's bound to show

Take you to the races, put our money down

Pick up all our winnings, dance all over town

Oh, yeah! oh, no!

Oh, what a world!



repeat chorus
