I'm surrounded by my enemies, mean me no good Every time I start a fight they put water all on my wood But that's alright, Lord I know better now Well, that's alright, friends I know better now I used to sit by this sick bed to give the pains ease The room was all quarantined, without a filth or disease But that's alright, yes, I'll get by somehow Well, that's alright Brownie, Brownie knows better now I used to sit around in these dumps, drinking this old, bad alcohol With the worst class of people, suppose to be having a ball But that's alright, I'll get by somehow Well, that's alright, people are no better now Well, you try to be good, bad or combined Give your money all to women, won't even help the blind But that's alright, well, I'll get by somehow Well, that's alright, friends I know better now, let me see if you do When you get drunk you think you got everything under control Then you do your dirty, filthy work, doggone on your soul But that's alright, friends I'll get by somehow Well, that's alright, Brownie knows better now, yes I do
