Always Lift Him Up and Never Knock Him Down Lyrics by Willie Watson

Folksinger Vol. 2

2017

When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged
And has nothing else but trouble all his life
Well, he's just an honest man like any other
Living in a world of aggravating strife
And if he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking
Do not pass him by, don't meet him with a frown
Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him
Always lift him up and never knock him down
And if he stays out late at night because he's troubled
Or because his home is not what it should be
Have a smile for him wherever you might meet him
It will help him find 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
Do not fail to lend your hand and show him pity
Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he has no friends and everything's against him
And if he's failed in everything that he has tried
Try to lift this load and help him bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen
Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some other's precious darlin'
And always lift him up and never knock him down
