I was seldom sober in nineteen hundred and fifthy-four
Hey baby, maybe ´cause my baby had a baby by me
And I was still drinking dry gin
while you cried "No, no more"
And you were lyin´ and a-cryin´,
and your tears fell dying on the floor

And I´m brought down,
and I don´t think I can get up again
Brought down,
my heart is hurt again

You were the fine lady in the early mornings
that always painted her toes
And lookin´ towards the east
you´d say hello to the early dawn before they rose
And you were the love lady
that always hung up her finely pressed clothes
And sayin´ so long to the western sundown,
you taught me how it grows

And I´m brought down,
and I don´t think I can get up again
Brought down,
and you just hurt my heart again
Brought down
Brought down
I´m brought down

Brought down
Brought down
Brought down
Down

I´m brought down,
and I don´t think I can get up again
I´m brought down,
I´m hurt, it´s bad
(Brought down)
God, it´s a shame there´s no more Dr. Strangely Strange
(Brought down)
And I´m Brou.....(Brought down)......ught down
(Brought down)
And there must be more to life than this
