When a Cman has got the blues and feels discouraged And has Fnothing else but Ctrouble all his Glife Well he's Cjust an honest man like any other Living Amin a world of aggravating sGtrife If he's Csick and tired of life and takes to drinking Do not pass him by don't meet him with a Ffrown Do not fail to lend your hand and try to Chelp him Always lAmift him up and Gnever knock him Cdown
Am G C
If he Cstays out late at night because he's troubled Or beFcause his home is Cnot what it should Gbe Have a Csmile for him wherever you might meet him It will Amhelp him find the right way don't you seGe If he Cgambles when he's in the town or city Tell him what he ought to do to gain the cFrown Do not fail to lend your hand to show him Cpity Always lAmift him up and Gnever knock him Cdown
Am G C C/B C
If he Chas no friends and everything's against him If he's Ffailed in everyCthing that he has Gtried Try to lCift this load and help him bear his burden Let him Amknow that you are walking by his sidGe If he Cfeels that all is lost and he has fallen Help to place this poor man's feet on solid gFround Just remember he's some mothers precious Cdarling Always lAmift him up and Gnever knock him Cdown
Am G C
