When you're alone,
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go
Down town

When you know I'm down

For they do not want you free
And they will not make you strong
But only drag you down in the hole they're coming from

City cold and far away can be anyone when day comes down

Down in the valley
Valley so low
Hang your head over
Hear the wind blow

Studying about that good old way

To her place by the river

You got me feelin' down in the dumps

The only way is up

Oh you know I'm goin' down to the river, babe, I'm gonna sit down on the ground. I'm gonna let the waves of water, the waves of water wash my troubles down.

Goin' down the road feelin' bad...
And I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way.

All through the town.

Gonna join in a rock and roll band

And write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

Down, down, down, the stomach through;
'Round, 'round, 'round the system, too.
With Alka Seltzer you'll always say,
"Relief is just a swallow away."
