Lyrics
I Wish I'd Never Been Born
My mother left me
On the night I was born
My mother left me
On the night I was born
As for my father?
He?d left six months before
And as for my papa
He?d left six months before
I want to tell you?
I wish that I?d never been born
Today??.
Well my neighbors told me
They wished I?d move away
Well my neighbors told me
They wished I?d move away
Well you know what I told them?
I was planning on to stay?
Well you know what I told them?
I was planning on to stay?
I want to tell you?
I wish that I?d never been born
Today??.
Well the Doctor told me
My soul was never born
Well the Doctor told me
My soul was never born
You know what I told him?
I told him go straight to hell
You know what I told him?
I told him go straight to hell
I want to tell you?
I wish that I?d never been born
Today??.
