Somebody's Got To Help You Songtext
von Mississippi Sheiks

Look down, look down
Before you′re gone
Because when you leave here
Can't come back any more

Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you′re down in your selfish way

I ain't goin' to worry
My life no more
Say you′re going to leave me
Baby, there′s the door

Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way


Now when you leave
I hope you will stay
I may meet you
Down some lonesome right a-way

Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you′re down in your selfish way

(fiddle & guitar)

You told all my neighbors
And all my friends
That I was a mistreater
You wouldn't have me back again

Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you′re down in your selfish way

Someday, someday
When I will be goin'
You will call for, Poor Walter
But he won′t be in your home


Oh, somebody gotta help you
Baby, some sweet day
Oh, somebody gotta help you
When you're down in your selfish way.
