PICK ME UP ON YOUR WAY DOWN (Patsy Cline)
B Levey / G Reeves / M Axton

as recorded by Patsy Cline  Nov 8th 1956


Once my love was good enough,
True happiness we knew,
Then fame and fortune came you way
And made a change in you.

You'll find you ladder of success
Is not on solid ground,
And when it starts to tumble,
Pick me up on your way down.

Pick me up when dreams are shattered,
When false friends cannot be found,
For you know I'll still be waiting,
Pick me up on your way down.

You've hit the top, but it won't last,
There's just one way to go!
The world you've chosen is not real,
These things you'll come to know.

When folks say they don't know you
And you've lost your final round,
When you find that you are lonely,
Pick me up on your way down.

Pick me up when dreams are shattered,
When false friends cannot be found,
For you know I'll still be waiting,
Pick me up on your way down!
