Lyrics:

“I’ve been down I’ve been blue
Working so hard just to make it through
I’ve been down I’ve been blue
Working so hard just to make it through
There ain’t nothin’ take a man down
More than never getting good news.

Standing at the corner,
paperboy says the stocks are down
Oh standing at the corner, the paperboy
says the snow is coming and the sky’s all turning blue
Oh there ain’t nothing drive a man down
More than never getting good news.

I called the fortune teller,
I said, “woman you gotta turn this tide.”
You know I called the fortune teller and said,
“if you tell me bad stuff
You gotta give me good luck too!”
She said, “I’ll never let you down
More than when I ain’t got no good news.”
