| | | Artist: | Ry Cooder |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | ALWAYS LIFT HIM UP/KANAKA WAI WAI | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 62 | | | | Lyrics: | (Alfred Reed)(Traditional)
(G) - (C) - (D)
(G) When a fellow has the blues and feels
discouraged
And there's (C) nothing else but trouble all his (G) life
When he's always
grumbled at and never happy
Living with a scolding, aggravating (D) wife
If he's (G) sick
and tired of life and takes to drinking
Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a (C) frown
Do not fail to lend a hand and try to (G) help him
Always lift him up and (D) never knock
him (C) down (G)
If he stays out late at night because he's worried
And because his
home is not what it should be
Have a smile for him whenever you should meet him
It would
help him just the right way, don't you see
If he gambles when he's in the town or city
Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown
Lend a hand and do not fail to show him
pity
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he cannot pay his debts and feels
disgusted
If he's blue and doesn't have a word to say
Let him know you are his friend who
can be trusted
It would cheer this lonely fellow on his way
If he finds it hard for him to
keep his family
Let a kind word greet his ear when he's around
Don't say anything at all
to make against him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he has no friends
and everyone's against him
If he's failed at everything that he has tried
Try to lift his
load, to help to bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he
feels that all is lost, and he is falling
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darling
Always lift him up and never knock him
down
Always lift him | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
