Lowdown, once again    Well I'm strugglin' now    To get by, my friend       It's keepin' me up    Late at night    I can't settle down    My honky tonk life       Driftin' 'round 'bout half past four    With the blues on my back    And a bottle on the floor    Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down    'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown       And she told me, "It'll be OK,    Things'll soon get better one day"    But I don't see how       Driftin' 'round 'bout half past four    With the blues on my back    And a bottle on the floor    Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down    'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown       And she told me, "It'll be OK,    Things'll soon get better one day"    But I don't see how    'Cause I'm too lowdown
