Man-y's the time I've been mis-tak-en
And man-y times con-fused.
Yes, and I've of-ten felt for-sak-en
And cer-tain-ly mis-used
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just wea-ry to my bones
Still, you don't ex-pect to be
Bright and bon vi-vant
So far a-way from home,
so far a-way from home
I don't know a soul
who's not been bat-tered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's
not been shat-tered
or driv-en to its knees
Oh, but it's all right, it's all right
for we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
road we're trav-'ling on
I won-der what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I won-der what's gone wrong
