Listen everybody wonât you come and gather round
See this swaddled child in the lost and found.
Down on my luck but high upon my pride.
Iâm so down baby wonât you take a ride.
I been up and down the country with a suitcase in my hand.
Through the fields and factories, but my baby doesnât understand.
Iâm down on my luck but high upon my pride.
Iâm so down baby wonât you take a ride.
Take a ride, take a ride.
Iâm so down, baby wonât you take a ride.
I seen the world a-crying, walking in double-time.
I hear the captain singing, he speaks in nursery rhyme.
He says, âHand me down my walking cane, hand me down my slide.
Hand me down my old guitar and then we gonna take a ride.â
Take a ride, take a ride.
Iâm so down, baby wonât you take a ride.
Take a ride, take a ride.
Come on down, baby wonât you take a ride.
I seen you walking down on the strand,
Hand-in-hand, hand-in-hand, walking with another man.
Down on my luck but high upon my pride.
Iâm so down, baby wonât you take a ride.
Come on down, baby wonât you take a ride.
Come on down, baby wonât you take a ride.
