Intro: (with harmonica) D D A D x2 D When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged G And has nothing else but trouble all his life D But he's just an honest man like any other G Living in a world that's tearing at his mind D If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking G Do not pass him by don't greet him with a frown D Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him D A D Always lift him up and never knock him down D A D x2 (with harmonica) D If he stays out late at night because he's troubled G Or because his home is not what it should be D Have a smile for him wherever you might meet him G It will help him find the right way don't you see D If he gambles when he's in the town or city G Tell him what he ought to do to win the round D Do not fail to lend your hand to show him pity D A D Always lift him up and never knock him down D A D x3 (with harmonica) D If he has no friends and everything's against him G If he's failed in everything he has tried D Try to lift his load and help him bear his burden G Let him know that you are walking by his side D If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen G Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground D And when this world has turned its back against him D A D Always lift him up and never knock him down D A D x2 (with harmonica)
