life
is fine
,I
went down to the river
.I
set down on the bank
,I
tried to think but couldn't
.So
I jumped in and sank
!I
came up once and hollered
!I
came up twice and cried
If
that water hadn't a-been so cold
.I
might've sunk and died
!But
it was Cold in that water! It was cold
I
took the elevator
.Sixteen
floors above the ground
I
thought about my baby
.And
thought I would jump down
!I
stood there and I hollered
!I
stood there and I cried
If
it hadn't a-been so high
.I
might've jumped and died
!But
it was High up there! It was high
,So
since I'm still here livin'
.I
guess I will live on
--I
could've died for love
But
for livin' I was born
,Though
you may hear me holler
--And
you may see me cry
,I'll
be dogged, sweet baby
.If
you gonna see me die
,Life
is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!went down to the river
