What a way to go

I Met a Man Out On a Bridge Pier
He Said He's Gonna Jump to Save His Soul
I Said What's the World Done to Make You Mad Man
He Said Sit Down Son Now Here's the Dope
I Can't Find Work 'cause I'm a Blind Man
I Can't See But Sometimes I Can See the Light
Now Is My Life a Labor of Love Or Is My Life a Love of Labor
I Still Got a Hollow Feeling in My Life

What a Way to Go
What a Way to Go
What a Way to Go
What a Way to Go

I Met This Girl Her Name Escapes Me
Said Son I'd Love You to Be My Man
She Wrote Her Name Out On a Dollar
I Spent That Dollar On a Shot of Jim
Spent It On a Shot of Jim

I Talked Him Down and Then I Walked Off
I Turned Around and He Was Gone Himself
A Mile Down the Road It Came Upon Me
It Was Me I Talked Off That Ledge
It Was Me I Talked Off That Ledge
It Was Me I Talked Off That Ledge

What a Way to Go
What a Way to Go
What a Way to Go
