A Sorry Life

Once was the promise of gold up the river

With the promise of gold I headed up the river

But I had been sold up the river

Oh, it's a sorry life.

Waiting on the wooden bridge all night

Waiting for you on the wooden bridge all night

You never came I was cold and it got light

Oh, it's a sorry life.

They say it might never happen friend

They say it might never happen friend

But if it hasn't yet, it will in the end

Oh it's a sorry life.

They say your glass is half full and its plenty

They say that your glass is half full

I say I spilt it, it's cracked and it's empty

Oh, it's a sorry life.
