The History Of My Life
Yeah, my mother hadn't died
Lord, my father left his child at home
If my mother hadn't died
Lord, my father left his child at home
Well, my life won't be so miserable, baby
I wouldn't feel so all alone
I was born in Alabama
People, I was raised up in Tennessee
I was born in Alabama
People, I was raised up in Tennessee
Well, I lived through all this sorrow
Someone's always tryin' to hurt poor me
Well, I'd rather be lyin' dead
Sleepin' way down in my grave
Well, I'd rather be dead
Sleepin' way down in my grave
Than to live all this sorrow
Yeah, and misery every day
La Historia De Mi Vida
Sí, mi madre no había muerto
Señor, mi padre dejó a su hijo en casa
Si mi madre no hubiera muerto
Señor, mi padre dejó a su hijo en casa
Bueno, mi vida no sería tan miserable, nena
No me sentiría tan solo
Nací en Alabama
Gente, me crié en Tennessee
Nací en Alabama
Gente, me crié en Tennessee
Bueno, he vivido toda esta tristeza
Siempre alguien intenta lastimarme
Prefiero estar muerto
Durmiendo en mi tumba
Prefiero estar muerto
Durmiendo en mi tumba
Que vivir toda esta tristeza
Sí, y la miseria todos los días
