Life Is Fine
I went down to the river, sat down on the bank
Tried to think but couldn't, so I jumped in and sank
I stood there and hollered, I stood there and cried
If it hadn't been so cold I might have sunk and died
It was cold in that water. It was cold
I took and elevator, sixty floors above the ground
I thought about my baby, I thought I would jump down
I stood there and hollered, I stood there and cried
If it hadn't been so high I might have jumped and died
It was high up there. It was high
I guess I'm still here livin', might as well live on
I could have died for love, but for livin' I was born
Now you may hear me holler, you may see me cry
But I'll be dogged little baby if you gonna see me die
Life is fine. Fine as wine
Life is fine. Fine as wine
Now you may hear me holler, you may see me cry
But I'll be dogged little baby if you gonna see me die
Won't never see me die
Tried to think but couldn't, so I jumped in and sank
I stood there and hollered, I stood there and cried
If it hadn't been so cold I might have sunk and died
It was cold in that water. It was cold
I took and elevator, sixty floors above the ground
I thought about my baby, I thought I would jump down
I stood there and hollered, I stood there and cried
If it hadn't been so high I might have jumped and died
It was high up there. It was high
I guess I'm still here livin', might as well live on
I could have died for love, but for livin' I was born
Now you may hear me holler, you may see me cry
But I'll be dogged little baby if you gonna see me die
Life is fine. Fine as wine
Life is fine. Fine as wine
Now you may hear me holler, you may see me cry
But I'll be dogged little baby if you gonna see me die
Won't never see me die
