Lyrics:

Pick Me Up On Your Way Down I [as done by Charlie Walker, Ernest Tubb, Carl Smith, Buck Owens, etc.]

Pick Me Up on Your Way Down
(Harlan Howard)

You were mine for just a while,
Now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back
At your home across the track.
You're the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it to the ground.
Pick me up on your way down.

cho: Pick me up on your way down,
When you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you,
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy,
But they'll find another toy
And they'll take away your crown,
Pick me up on your way down.

They have changed your attitude,
Made you haughty and so rude,
Your new friends can take the blame,
Underneath you're still the same.
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you,
As you tumble to the ground
Pick me up on your way down.

Pick Me Up On Your Way Down II [as done by Patsy Cline]

Written by m. axton, b. levey and g. reeves
(as recorded by patsy cline november 8, 1956)

Once my love was good enough
True happiness we knew
Then fame and fortune came your way
And made a change in you
You'll find your ladder of success
Is not on solid ground
And when it starts to tumble
Pick me up on your way down

Chorus:
Pick me up when dreams are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
For you know i'll still be waiting
Pick me up on your way down

You've hit the top, but it won't last
There's just one way to go
The world you've chosen is not real
These things you'll come to know
When folks say they don't know you
And you've lost your final round
When you find that you are lonely
Pick me up on your way down

Repeat chorus
