Have You Ever Been Down lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you’ve ever been down
You know just how I feel
If you’ve ever been down
You know just how I feel
Like a tramp on the railroad
Ain’t got a [?] on me

[Verse 2]
I’m a real good woman
But my man don’t treat me right
I’m a real good woman
But my man don’t treat me right
He takes all my money
And stay out all night

[Cornet solo: Louis Armstrong]

[Verse 3]
I’m down today
But I won’t be down always
I’m down today
But I won’t be down always
‘Cause the sun’s gonna shine
In my back door someday
[Verse 4]
Here’s one thing, papa
I’ve decided to do
Oh, pretty daddy
I’ve decided to do
I’m gonna find another papa
Then I can’t use you
