Originally recorded for Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, Elvis Costello and the Imposters recorded their own version of “Down On The Bottom” with background vocals from Larkin Poe.
Always been in trouble
Nearly all of my life
Always been in trouble
Struggle, scorn and strife
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
With no place to go now but up
Go find me my bluebird
Flying so high up above
Go find me my bluebird
Find me somebody to love
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
No place to go now but up
Go find me my bluebird before it turns and disappears
See the sky is painted before it rains down like tears
The hour of eleven
The little finger of fate
Pointing to heaven before it's too late
Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
No place to go now but up
