Been Down so Long Lyrics

Morrison-Manzarek-Krieger-Densmore

Down so Goddamn long that it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long that it looks like up to me
Well, why don't some you, people, come on and gotta set me free?

Well, warden, warden, warden, won't you break your lock and key?
I said, warden, warden, warden, won't you break your lock and key?
Won't you come along here, mister, oh, say: ‘Please, don't be'.

Come on.

Well, now, darling, darling, sister, won't you down your load on me?
I say, darling, darling, sister, won't you down your load on me?
…………………, come on, sister, I love you, yeah, yeah, come on.

Well, I said, baby, baby, baby, won't you give your love to me?
Baby, baby, baby, won't you give your love to me?
Won't you come along here, darling, come on and give help to me.

Yippee, one more, yeah.

I've been down so Goddamn long that it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so Goddamn long that it looks like up to me
Yeah, why don't one of you people, come on and set me free, yeah?
