Living In This World Alone

It's so hard to live
In this world alone
Lord, my darling mother, oh lord
She's dead and gone
All because I'm trying to live free from sin
Lord, I'm trying hard just to make it in
Well, it's hard
Oh, it's hard
Livin' in this world alone
Livin' in the world alone

Things I used to do
I just don't do it no more
Yeah, there are places, oh lord
I can and I will not go
All because I'm trying to live free from sin
Lord, I'm trying to hard just to make it in
Well, it's hard
Oh, it's hard
Livin' in this world alone, you can't do it
Livin' in this world alone

I went to my brother
Said, brother help me please'
He wind up knockin' me, oh lord
Back down on my knees
All because I'm trying to live free from sin
Lord, I'm trying hard just to make it in
But it's hard
Oh, it's hard
Livin' in this world alone, you can't do it
Livin' in this world alone
We can't do it
Livin' in this world alone
We got to have Jesus
In this world alone
Can't do it
Livin' in this world alone
