Mean Old World

Mean Old World:


This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
This is a mean world to be alone without someone to call your own
This is a mean old world to try and live in all by yourself.
Sam Cooke was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, about an hour and a half from Memphis. He died at the age of 33, shot down by a hotel manager in Los Angeles. It is indeed a mean old world to live in all by yourself.
