I've been down so long You know, down don't bother me I've been down so long You know, down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my troubles And cast 'em in the deep blue sea I work hard every day I come straight home at night No matter how hard I try, pretty little girl Y'know you just won't treat me right I've been down so long You know, down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my worries And cast 'em in the deep blue sea I bought you a fur coat for Christmas And a diamond ring Now you've got the nerve to tell me That my love don't mean a thing I've been down so long You know, down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my troubles And cast 'em in the deep blue sea I work hard every day I come straight home at night No matter how hard I try, pretty little girl Y'know you just won't treat me right I've been down so long You know, down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my worries And cast 'em in the deep blue sea
