I've been down so long, being down don't bother me
I've been down so long, being down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue sea
I work hard every day come straight home at night No matter how hard I try to please her she just don't treat me right
I've been down so long, being down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue sea
I bought her a fur coat for christmas and a diamond ring She's got the nerve to tell me that love don't mean a thing
I've been down so long, being down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue sea
(Come on Ken)
Down so long Down so long I've been down so long I've been down so long I'm gonna take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue sea
I've been down so long, being down don't bother me I've been down so long, being down don't bother me I'm gonna take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue sea

Down Down Down Down Down so long Down so long Down so long Down so long
I'm gonna take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue
Take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue
Take all my troubles, drown 'em in the deep blue sea
