DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
(Tommy Collins)


Rose Maddox - 1962
Buck Owens - 1963



 

I'm a-goin' down, down, down
Goin' down, down, down
I got nobody to love me now
I'm sorrow bound bound bound
Since you've left this town
Since you've left I'm goin' down, down, down

I never thought my life would be so lonely
I never thought my head could hang so low 
I love you, my darlin', and you only
Don't know where you are but there I've got to go

I'm a-goin' down, down, down
Goin' down, down, down
I got nobody to love me now
I'm sorrow bound bound bound
Since you've left this town
Since you've left I'm goin' down, down, down

(Instrumental Break)

Quarrels so many was your reason
Could it be you never gave us time
In your heart if you desire a new love
If so then your love is not with mine

I'm a-goin' down, down, down
Goin' down, down, down
I got nobody to love me now
I'm sorrow bound bound bound
Since you've left this town
Since you've left I'm goin' down, down, down

(Instrumental Break)

I'm a-goin' down, down, down
Goin' down, down, down
I got nobody to love me now
I'm sorrow bound bound bound
Since you've left this town
Since you've left I'm goin' down, down, down
Since you've left I'm goin' down, down, down
