I’M TIRED

©1961 – music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

 

Oh I’ve worked all my life 

Had eight kids and a wife 

All my life full of strife 

I’m tired, I’m tired 

I’m tired, I’m tired  

Amigo, I’m tired 

​

I work all day on a boat 

Makin’ repairs to stay afloat  

Gettin’ lazy like a goat 

I’m tired, I’m tired 

I’m tired, I’m tired  

Amigo, I’m tired 

​

Eatin’ and drinkin’ late at night 

While the moon shinin’ bright 

I never want to say goodnight 

​

My wife has gone left me sad 

Now I’m feelin’ mighty bad 

I’ve had enough of this life 

I’m tired, I’m tired 

I’m tired, I’m tired  

Amigo, I’m tired
