i feel like dying
i've done all i can
but i've lost my woman
she ran off with another man
i think i'm dying
i'm feeling such pain
my life's in trouble
and i cannot take the strain

well what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do
what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do

i feel like dying
i've got nothing to lose
i know i need something
but i do not need these blues
oh i think i'm dying
and this is the end
i need an answer
oh, i need a friend

well what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do
what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do
i feel like dying

(lead guitar and harmonica)

i feel like dying
like my time has come
my heart is beating
like the pounding of a drum

i think i'm dying
my debts are due
i'm down on the killing floor
and my days on earth are through

well what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do
what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do

i feel like dying
my life is a grave
despair is my master
but death shall be my slave

darkness surrounds me
my soul is undone
i stare up at Heaven
but i cannot see the sun

well what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do
what am i gonna do about it
what am i gonna do
i feel like dying
