EFour and twenty E6years ago,

 and he Gwasn't into Aselling door to Edoor

 And he Gworked like the Adevil to be Emore

 A Edifferent kind of E6poverty Enow upsets me E6so

ENight after E6sleepless night,

GwhyA am I Eso alone?E6

GWhere is my Awoman, can I Ebring her home?

GHave I driven her aAway?

 Is she Egone?

EMorning comes to E6sunrise,

 and I'm Edriven to my E6bed

 I Esee that it is E6empty,

 and there's Edevils in my E6head

 I grow Gweary of the Atorment;

 can there Ebe no peace?

 And I Gfind myself just Awishing that my Elife would soon decease
