Down So Long lyrics

Down, down, down so long … Yes … I've been down so long Gettin' up never crossed my mind I've been down so long Gettin' up never crossed my mind. I've a-been pushed And I've a-been shoved I've been everything but loved. I've been down so long Gettin' up never crossed my mind I've been down so long That the tears roll up my cheek. My sense of right is wrong And my sense of strong is weak Ever since you went away My life has been one hell to pay. And I've been down so long Yes … gettin' up never crossed my mind Tell me if you know what I mean, children? Gettin' up never crossed my mind … Oooh … sing it with some soul now Gettin' up never crossed my mind … Tell me what never crossed your mind? Gettin' up never crossed my mind …
