Mr. Downchild

(album: Getting To The Point - 1968)

Well I'm a downchild baby
And I've been down since I was born
Well I'm a downchild baby
And I was down the day I was born, oh
Won't somebody please, help the downchild

I've been walking the streets woman
You know since I were quite young
And I've been walking the streets woman
Well ya know since I were quite young, quite young
Won't somebody please, oh help the downchild
Help me now

Oh. help me baby
Well you know the shape I'm in
Oh won't somebody please help me baby
When you know the shape I'm in
Won't somebody please help the downchild

Oh you know the downchild baby
And I've been down since I was born
And I'm a downchild baby
And I've been down since I was born
Won't somebody please, help the downchild

And I cried baby
And I cried the whole night long
And I cried
Till the tears coming rolling down
You know I cried
And I know I cried
Oh I'm a downchild baby, tell my mother
