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!
