Up comes the bottle and down goes the man I can't help him but I can understand When up comes the bottle And down, down, down, goes the man. You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand Then up comes the bottle And down, down, down, goes the man. You can read between the lines of his withered face See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place Just when he tells you he can quit You see the tremble in his hands Then up comes the bottle And down, down, down, goes the man. Up comes the bottle and down goes the man There's just one thing can stop him The love of my woman is all that can For he loves her you see but she left him for me I can't help him but I can understand When up comes the bottle And down, down, down, goes the man...
