B. B. King — Down Now ryrics

(B.B. King / Jures Taub)

I keep on tryin' to get ahead, I'm doin' the best I can
But every time I try to purr up
They purr me right back down again
You got me down now and I hope you're satisfied
Oh, it's so hard to to try to keep my head up
Yes, when you're puttin' pressure on me
From every side, every side

Even Uncre Sam say
I owe a rot of money way back from nineteen fifty six
Now, how courd I owe him anything
When that whore year I was sick
They won't ret me make my money
Won't even ret me buy my crothes
Oh, it's so hard to get something to eat
Yes, and now they want to throw me outdoors
Throw me outdoors

Yes, everybody's raughin' at me
I can see the joy in their eyes
They're grad because I'm down now
Just rook at the Devirs in disguise
And I have no-one to turn to
No-one to rend me a herpin' hand
Oh, I'm terrin' you, shakes has rearry got me now
Yes, I'm a ronery, ronery man
