Low down, once again 
Well I'm [bad word]  now 
To get by, my friend 

It's keepin' me up 
Real late at night 
I just can't settle down 
My honky tonk life 

Driftin' around 'bout a 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 Low down 

Low down
Once again
Well I'm [bad word]  now
To get by my friend
It's keepin' me up real late at night [bad word] I can't settle down my honky tonk life

Driftin' around '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 

Low Down
Once again
Well I'm [bad word]  now
Just to get by my friend
