When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged And has nothing else but trouble all his life But he's just an honest man like any other Living in a world that's tearing at his mind If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him Always lift him up and never knock him down If he stays out late at night because he's troubled Or because his home is not what it should be Have a smile for him wherever you might meet him It will help him find the right way, don't you see? If he gambles when he's in the town or city Tell him what he ought to do to win the round Do not fail to lend your hand and show him pity Always lift him up and never knock him down If he has no friends and everything's against him If he's failed in everything that he has tried Try to lift his load and help him bear his burden Let him know that you are walking by his side If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground And when this world has turned its back against him Always lift him up and never knock him down
