Down On The Bottom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
No place to go but up
Always been in trouble
Nearly all my life
Always been in trouble
Struggle, scorn and strife
Go find me my bluebird
Flying so high up above
Go find me my bluebird
Go find me somebody to love
