When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged
F C G
And has nothing else but trouble all his life
C
Well he's just an honest man like any other
Am G
Living in a world of aggravating strife
C
If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
F
Do not pass him by don't meet him with a frown
C
Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him
Am G C
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Am G C
C
If he stays out late at night because he's troubled
F C G
Or because his home is not what it should be
C
Have a smile for him wherever you might meet him
Am G
It will help him find the right way don't you see
C
If he gambles when he's in the town or city
F
Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown
C
Do not fail to lend your hand to show him pity
Am G C
Always lift him up and never knock him down
Am G C C/B C
C
If he has no friends and everything's against him
F C G
If he's failed in everything that he has tried
C
Try to lift this load and help him bear his burden
Am G
Let him know that you are walking by his side
C
If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen
F
Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground
C
Just remember he's some mothers precious darling
Am G C
Always lift him up and never knock him down
