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

Gonna take all my troubles

And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea

I work hard every day

I come straight home at night

And no matter how hard I try

Y'know you never wanna treat me right

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 bought you a nice coat for Christmas

And a diamond ring

And now you've got the nerve to tell me

My love don't mean a thing

I've been down so long

'Til down don't bother me

I'm gonna cast all my worries

And take 'em to the deep, blue sea

I work hard every day

I come straight home at night

And no matter how I try, I try

You never wanna treat me right

I've been down so long

You know, down don't bother me

I'm gonna cast all my worries

And take 'em to the deep, blue sea
