Been Down So Long
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 will call her every day 
Come stay 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 
Our 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 
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 so long, down so long 
Down so long, down so long 
I'm gonna take all my troubles 
Drown 'em in the deep blue 
I'm gonna take all my troubles 
Drown 'em in the deep blue 
I'm gonna take all my troubles 
Drown 'em in the deep blue sea
