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
