Cold, Cold World Ohio Players

[Verse 1]
I was born across the street
From a place they call The Blues
And everything that people tell me
It always seems to be bad news
My poor mother 'fore she died
She said, "Things won’t ever change
You were born a loser
And all your life, you'll play a game"
I just sat there and I wondered
Can this really be a
Cold, cold world to me?
Somebody oughta help me

[Verse 2]
Everything I thought was right
Always turned out to be so wrong
I had a pretty woman, yes, I did
She said our love was so strong
But I woke up one morning, Lord
Tears running down my face
A letter laying by my bedside, it read
"Your brother has taken your place"
I just sat there and I wondered
Can this really be a
Cold, cold world to me?
Somebody oughta help me, yeah, yeah
