An d you're leaving me all alone,
When you know that my nose
is down to the grinding stone
You rode this gravy train
But remember what goes around
Cause it's a up and down world
Lord, it might be cold sometime
But it's a up and down world
It might be nice and warm today
Tomorrow may be drizzlin' cold
I saw a hobo the other day
That once had his weight in gold
But go ahead on through, baby
And I'll gladly set you free
Cause I know that old sun up there
Cause it's a up and down world.
It's a up and down world.
but it's an up and down world.
You up on your feet now, baby
Then you're leavin' me all alone, yeah
When you know that my nose
Is down to the grindin' stone
But remember what goes around
Well, it also comes around too
Cause it's a up and down world
But it's an up and down world
you might be up the day and down tomorrow
Because it's an up and down world
Lord, it might be cold, baby
But it's an up and down world you
