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.
