Lift Him Up Lyrics - Tennessee Pusher - Old Crow Medicine Show

When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged 

And has nothing else but trouble all his life 

But he's just an honest man like any other 

Living in a world that's tearing at his mind 

If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking 

Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown 

Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him 

Always lift him up and never knock him down 

If he stays out late at night because he's troubled 

Or because his home is not what it should be 

Have a smile for him wherever you might meet him 

It will help him find the right way, don't you see? 

If he gambles when he's in the town or city 

Tell him what he ought to do to win the round 

Do not fail to lend your hand and show him pity 

Always lift him up and never knock him down 

If he has no friends and everything's against him 

If he's failed in everything that he has tried 

Try to lift his load and help him bear his burden 

Let him know that you are walking by his side 

If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen 

Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground 

And when this world has turned its back against him 

Always lift him up and never knock him down
