You Got to Go Down - Rev. Gary Davis

You better learn how to treat everybody

For you got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to treat everybody

You got to go down, you got to go down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

The life you’re living won’t do to trust

You better learn how to treat everybody

For you got to go down

Spoken: Some of you people don’t realize it.

Taking the world by storm.

Don’t even know hoe to treat your family.

Doing all kind of ways.

Living all kind of lives.

Saying everything before your children.

Treat your wife all kind of ways.

Treat your husband every kind of way.

God says:

You better learn how to treat your husband

You got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to treat your husband

You got to go down, you got to go down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

The life you’re living won’t do to trust

You better learn how to treat your husband

You got to go down

Spoken: *Cause* the mother to get careless.

But God tells you how to raise a

child.

You got to *place you* say everything before the child.

And do

everything before.

God says:

You better learn how to live ‘fore children

You got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to live ‘fore children

You got to go down, you got to go down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

The life you’re living won’t do to trust

You better learn how to live ‘fore everybody

You got to go down

Spoken: And you’re traveling through the world.

And don’t know how to treat

your wife.

And giving everybody else the thing that you ought to give to your

wife.

God says:

You better learn how to treat your companion

You got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to treat your companion

You got to go down, you got to go down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

The life you’re living won’t do to trust

You better learn how to treat your companion

You got to go down

Spoken: And you’re traveling through the world.

Some people think;

just because a man is a drunkard;

And will drink liquor sometime and cut up and raise sand;

if they come and

carry him to your house

You got to carry him in before the Lord.

When God save him *you can suggest

saving your own self*.

God says:

You better learn how to treat that drunkard

You got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to treat that drunkard

You got to go down, you got to go down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

The life you’re living won’t do to trust

You better learn how to treat that drunkard

You got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to treat that drunkard

For you got to go down, you got to go down

You better learn how to treat that drunkard

You got to go down, you got to go down

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

The life you’re living won’t do to trust

You better learn how to treat that drunkard

For you got to go down
