- Mean Old World LyricsThis is a mean old world, baby, to live in by yourself
This is a mean old world to live in by your self
When you can't get the woman you love, you know she's
loving someone else
Well, I drink to keep from worrying and I smile to keep
from crying
I drink to keep from worrying, baby, I smile to keep from
crying
That's to keep the public from knowing just what I have
on my mind
Some day, some day, baby, I'll be six feet in my grave
Some day, some day, darling, I'll be six feet in my grave
And, I won't be around here to be mistreated, darling,
like a low-down slave
This is a mean old world to live in by your self
When you can't get the woman you love, you know she's
loving someone else
Well, I drink to keep from worrying and I smile to keep
from crying
I drink to keep from worrying, baby, I smile to keep from
That's to keep the public from knowing just what I have
on my mind
Some day, some day, baby, I'll be six feet in my grave
Some day, some day, darling, I'll be six feet in my grave
And, I won't be around here to be mistreated, darling,
like a low-down slave

When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, T-Bone Walker's 'Mean Old World' describes the bitter truth of a person who is lonely and brokenhearted. The words show the use of liquor and a grinning face as ways to mask one's internal conflicts even more, thus, the pain of love not returned and the finality of death are pointed out. The meanness of the world lyrics primarily bring forth despair, heartbreak, solitude, angst, and reflection. Still, the song talks about the same aspects as it brings up loneliness and despair, heartbreak and unrequited love, coping mechanisms and mortality as well as resignation.
