Low Down

Low down once again:
Well, I'm struggling, now, to get by, my friend.
It's keepin' me up real late at night.
I just can't settle down my honky-tonk life.

Driftin' around, 'bout a half-past-four,
With the blues on my back an' a bottle on the floor.
Drinkin' till I think I'm gonna fall down,
'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me low down.
(Low down, low.)

Instrumental break.
