I've been down so long, and I'm on my way up again
I've been down so long, and I'm on my way up again
When I reach the top it's time, baby
Oh, oh, you'll want to be my friend
I give you all of my money, all my loving and everything
I give you all of my money, all my loving and everything
But you gone on and left me
Oh, oh for another man
Now I'm so sad
I've been walking from town to town
I ain't got no food to eat
You can see I've been struggling
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
I've been down so long that I'm on my way up again
When I reach the top this time, baby
Oh, oh you'll want to be my friend
