[Intro]

So down (so down)

So down (so down)

So down, your pride is gone

[Verse 1]

So down, so down

So down, your pride is gone

You had a mule named love

You had a field of wheat

Your pride has you so down

So down, so down

So down, your mind is wrong

You had to feel so sweet

Your every problem beat

Your mind left you so wrong

[Chorus]

Pick yourself up from the backyard

Pick yourself and what you'll keep

Put it down in a freight train car

Pick yourself from the bad news

Pick yourself by the old mill stream

Put it down in a freight train car

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 2]

So down, so down

So down, your time is long

Now that you see

There's another way

Your time is no more

So down, so down

So down, your right is wrong

Now that you see

You're dying free

And your pride is so, so down

[Outro]

So down, so down

So down, your time is long

So down, so down

So down, your time is gone
