Look down, look down
Before you're gone
Because when you leave here
Can't come back any more
Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way
I ain't goin' to worry
My life no more
Say you're going to leave me
Baby, there's the door
Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way
Now when you leave
I hope you will stay
I may meet you
Down some lonesome right a-way
Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way
(fiddle & guitar)
You told all my neighbors
And all my friends
That I was a mistreater
You wouldn't have me back again
Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way
Someday, someday
When I will be goin'
You will call for, Poor Walter
But he won't be in your home
Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way.
