I’ve been down so long You know, down don’t bother me I’ve been down so long You know, down don’t bother me I’m gonna take all my troubles And cast ’em in the deep, blue sea
I work hard every day I come straight home at night No matter how I try to please you, no good You just won’t treat me right
I’ve been down so long You know, down don’t bother me I’m gonna take all o’ my worries And cast ’em in the deep, blue sea
I bought you a nice coat for Christmas And a diamond ring And now you’ve got the nerve to tell me That my love don’t mean a thing
I’ve been down so long Until down don’t bother me I’m gonna take all my troubles And cast ’em in the deep, blue sea
