| When a fellow has the blues and feels discouraged
|
| And there’s nothing else but trouble all his life
|
| When he’s always grumbled at and never happy
|
| Living with a scolding, aggravating wife
|
| If he’s sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
|
| Do not pass him by, don’t greet him with a frown
|
| Do not fail to lend a hand and try to help him
|
| Always lift him up and never knock him down
|
| If he stays out late at night because he’s worried
|
| And because his home is not what it should be
|
| Have a smile for him whenever you should meet him
|
| It would help him just the right way, don’t you see
|
| If he gambles when he’s in the town or city
|
| Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown
|
| Lend a hand and do not fail to show him pity
|
| Always lift him up and never knock him down
|
| If he cannot pay his debts and feels disgusted
|
| If he’s blue and doesn’t have a word to say
|
| Let him know you are his friend who can be trusted
|
| It would cheer this lonely fellow on his way
|
| If he finds it hard for him to keep his family
|
| Let a kind word greet his ear when he’s around
|
| Don’t say anything at all to make against him
|
| Always lift him up and never knock him down
|
| If he has no friends and everyone’s against him
|
| If he’s failed at everything that he has tried
|
| Try to lift his load, to help to bear his burden
|
| Let him know that you are walking by his side
|
| And if he feels that all is lost, and he is falling
|
| Try to place that poor man’s feet on solid ground
|
| Just remember he’s some mother’s precious darling
|
| Always lift him up and never knock him down
|
| Always lift him up and never knock him down |
