Down Now lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Down Now lyrics I keep on tryin to get ahead, I m doin the best I can But every time I try to pull up They pull me right back down again You got me down now and I hope you re satisfied Oh, it s so hard to try to keep my head up Yes, when you re puttin pressure on me From every side, every side Even Uncle Sam say I owe a lot of money way back from nineteen fifty six Now, how could I owe him anything When that whole year I was sick They won t let me make my money Won t even let me buy my clothes Oh, it s so hard to get something to eat Yes, and now they want to throw me outdoors Throw me outdoors Yes, everybody s laughin at me I can see the joy in their eyes They re glad because I m down now Just look at the Devils in disguise And I have no-one to turn to No-one to lend me a helpin hand Oh, I m tellin you, shakes has really got me now Yes, I m a lonely, lonely man song lyrics
