I doo the river,
I set dohe bank.
I tried to t couldnt,
So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If t er a-been so cold
I mightve sunk and died.
But it er! It was cold!
I took tor
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I t about my baby
And t I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it a-been so high
I mightve jumped and died.
But it was was high!
So since Im still here livin,
I guess I will live on.
I couldve died for love--
But for livin I was born
though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
Ill be dogged, s baby,
If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!
