Feelin' low,___I'm feelin' mighty low.
Gotta go, the landlord says I gotta go.
Feelin' low,__ I said.  I'm feelin' awful low.
But when you gotta go you gotta go._______

Over-coat's sold, oh lawd, ain't it cold.
But I'm not gonna holler, 'cause I still got a dollar.
And when I get low, oh-oh-oh-oh, I get high.

My man walk'd out, now you know that ain't right.
Well he better look out if I meet him to-night.
I said when I get low, oh-oh-oh-oh, I get high.

All the hard luck in this town has found me.____
No-bo-dy knows how troubles go round and round me.
I'm all a-lone with no one to pet me.
But ol' rockin' chair ain't never gonna get me.
'Cause when I get low, oh-oh-oh-oh, I get high.___
