Down So Long - Bobby Darin

Down, down, down so long

Yes, I’ve been down so long

Getting up never crossed my mind

I’ve been down so long

Getting up never crossed my mind

I’ve a-been pushed

And I’ve a-been shoved

I’ve been everything but loved

I’ve been down so long

Getting up never crossed my mind

I’ve been down so long

That the tears roll up my cheek

My sense of right is wrong

And my sense of strong is weak

Ever since you went away

My life has been one hell to pay

And I’ve been down so long

Yes, getting up never crossed my mind

Tell me if you know what I mean, children

Getting up never crossed my mind

Ooh, sing it with some soul now

Getting up never crossed my mind

Tell me what never crossed your mind

Getting up never crossed my mind
