I've been down so long
Down in this misery
Yeah, yeah
Now I'm on my knees
Begging somebody come rescue me
Lord, have mercy
Can't nobody help you
Until you're ready to help yourself
Ah-ha
I spent all my money
And wasted all my time
Lord, have mercy
They left me alone
And drank up all of my wine
You can't help nobody else
Until you get up and help yourself
How, how, how, how
How, how, how, how
How, how, how, how
Hey
I woke up one morning, y'all
And I was ready to be free
A decision had to be made
And it had to be made by me
Yeah, oh yeah
Can't nobody help you
Until you're ready to help yourself
Lord, have mercy
You can't help nobody else
Until you get up and help yourself
Hey, hey
Oh, oh, yeah
Lord, have mercy
You gotta help yourself
You gotta help yourself
You gotta help yourself
You gotta help yourself
Ah
