Gloom and Despair
I've got gloom, despair and
agony on me.
I've got deep, dark depression
and excessive misery.

Oh Lord, if I didn't have bad luck,
I'd have none at all.
Oh Lord, Help me!
I know You are listening to my call.

And if the creek don't rise too much
I've gotta get to town.
I need some groceries cause
there are none to be found.

My chicken flew the coop
and my mule won't do a thing.
I've also got a big ol' hole in my roof
and I'm sitting here soaked with rain.

My hound dog ran off one day last week
and it looks like the cat did too.
Nothing but bad luck, but the Lord
will take care of me and see me through.
