Cotton Pickers Down Lyrics

Our lives those days were wonderful,
we were young and strong and rather cool,
we were free from cares whatever might be.
We shared all the things that could be shared,
there was nothing we could not have bared,
till the end of time in unity.
Now you’re gone – gone - gone,
now you’re gone – gone – baby you’re gone.

We were playing the game of live or die,
there were times we laughed and times we cried,
we stood still – as the world turned around.
We were friends – friends as we could be,
but now you’re gone to dream your endless dream,
that is why I’m really down on the ground.
Now you’re gone – gone – gone,
now you’re gone – gone – baby you’re gone. Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground.
Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground,
baby I’m down on the ground.

Every drink we had is in my mind,
like all the girls that we have left behind,
now the sun is dull and wind’s getting cold.
I am waiting for the time to come,
when we will be together on the run,
you died much too young while I’m to grow old.
Cause you’re gone – gone – gone,
now you’re gone – gone – baby you’re gone.

Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground.
Down, down, baby I’m down,
down, down, down on the ground.

Down, down, ….
