When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged
G+G
And has nothing else but trouble all his life

Living in a world that's tearing at his mind
D MajorD
If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
G+G
Do not pass him by don't greet him with a frown
D MajorD
Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him

Always lift him up and never knock him down
