Pick Myself Up

Sittin' in the morning sun

And watching all the birds passing by

Oh how sweet they sing

And oh how much I wish that I could fly

And I try

I said I try

I try

I really try, try, try

But I got to pick myself up

(Dust myself off)

Dust myself off

(Start all over)

Start all over, again

(Start all over)

I got to pick myself up

(Dust myself off)

And dust myself off

(Start all over)

Start all over, again

(Start all over)

Sittin' in the midday sun

And wondering where my meal's coming from

After working so hard

Not even piece of bread at the yard

And I said I try

Oh Lord I try

Said I try

I really try, try, try

But I got to pick myself up

(Dust myself off)

And dust myself off, as a little boy

(Start all over)

Start all over, again

(Start all over)

I got to pick myself up

(Dust myself off)

And dust myself off, I said

(Start all over)

And I start all over, again

(Start all over)

Sittin' in the evening sun

And watching the same birds passing by

Sittin' there wondering

And waiting for the time for me to fly

And I try

I said I try

Good Lord I try

I really try, try, try

But I got to pick myself up

(Dust myself off)

And dust myself off

(Start all over)

And start all over, again

(Start all over)

I got to pick myself up

Over and over

(Dust myself off)

And dust myself off

(Start all over)

And start all over, again

(Start all over)

So long and I just find

It was just a waste of time

So long and I just find

I been wasting all my time

I've got to pick myself up

(Dust myself off)

And dust myself off

(Start all over)

And start all over, again

(Start all over)

I gotta pick myself up
