I can't find these lyrics anywhere

nor do I have any idea who's song it was originally - probably one of the Hanks (Williams Sr., Snow or Thompson) - but it was one my Dad used to sing brilliantly. It's perfect for a deep resonant bass. The melody kind of belies the woeful lyrics, as though implying that sadness is just another emotion that will pass.

This one's for you, (you know who you are):
Feelin' low 'cuz I know that it's all over now
And nobody cares for what happens anyhow
There's no use to cry
'Cuz life passed me by
It meant for me to lose when I was born.

That's all I can remember.
