Up Comes The Bottle (down Goes The Man)

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
