I've been down so long
but I'm own my way up again (twice)
when I reach the top this time, baby
you won't be my friend
I gave you allmy money
a Cadillac and everything (twice)
But you've gone and left me
For some another man
I been walking from town to town
I didn't have no food to eat
I was wearing those lousy clothes
had no shoes on my feet
I've been down so long
but I'm own my way up again
when I reach the top this time,
baby you won't be my friend
