Intro

x 2

 To break your heart into pieces

 is what I’m here to do

I’ve got nothing but trouble, babe

in store for you

 I’ve got one eye on the main chance

one hand behind your back

 and you just stumbled blind babe

right into my track

Chores:

 And that’s when you fell so low

Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you know

 That’s when you fell so low

Pick yourself off the floor, before you go

 There’s vengeance in my belly

slime on both my shoes

 and everything bad that you ever heard

 about little old me is true

 My trigger finger is itchy

 my humour is black

 and you just stumbled blind babe

right into my track

Chores:

 And that’s when you fell so low

Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you know

 That’s when you fell so low

Pick yourself off the floor, before you go

 Now the devil drives a hard bargain

Preacher burns his hands

Fireman makes gives a sermon

Lord surveys his lands

Huck Finn just went out for sticks

He ain’t coming back

 and you just stumbled blind babe

right into my track

Chores:

 And that’s when you fell so low

Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you know

 That’s when you fell so low

Pick yourself off the floor, before you go

Instrumental

x 2

brushes is back in the ballrooms

fellows in my aim

Sinéad O'Connor is the guest of honor

And the blades are little played

 Oh Van Morrison is maoning

Something about a copy cat

 And you just stumbled blind babe

right into my track

Chores:

And that’s when you fell so low

Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you know

 That’s when you fell so low

Pick yourself off the floor, before you go

Instrumental

x 2

Faces start a-shining

flags begin to sway

 Would you believe I came a long distance

 Just to be with you today

 Your crooked partner

he just got the sack

 and you just stumbled blind babe

right into my track

Chores:

And that’s when you fell so low

Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you know

 That’s when you fell so low

Pick yourself off the floor, before you go
