Verse

And I saw an old fisherman swayin on the dock

Swingin a junk of somethin and the string of fish that he had caught

His wife had left him just a week before

She packed up her bags and waltzed on out the door

She said, "You know I don't like the way I am

You know I don't like the way I am

You know I don't like the way I am

You know I don't like the way I am

And then she cried right aloud

Chorus

SGhe sang, "DYay-eAe la-oo taDy-ee-he-ee

YGay-ee la-oDo tayA-ee-he-ee D

YGay-ee la-oDo tayA-ee-he-ee D

YGay-ee la-oDo tayA-ee-he-eeeDee-eeeeeeA"

Verse

And you and me walked down the shores of our youth

Chasin the sunrise and challenging the truth

It's all so distant now, I've seen too many lies

Turning my vision into crumbling demise

Aww, you know I don't like the way I am

I don't like the way I am

But you know, I'm gonna change the way I am

Oh yes I am, I'm gonna change the way I am

Right now, hear me crying

Sing, Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-he

Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee

Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-eeeee-eeeeee

Verse

The other night I had a crazy dream

About a man in a fishin hat he was sellin old magazines

All the way from Kingston he had worked his way down

And I, I bought him a drink on the night they kicked him outta town

He said to me, he said, "You know I don't like the way I am (just like that)

You know I don't like the way I am

But I'm gonna change the way I am, yes I am

I'm gonna change the way I am"

Chorus

Then he played a song for me on a sqeeze-box

Say hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo

hooo-hooo

hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo

hooo-hooo

hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo

hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo

hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo

hooo-hooo
