Lyrics You Got to Go Down - Rev. Gary Davis

You Got to Go Down

You better learn how to treat everybody
For you got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to treat everybody
You got to go down, you got to go down
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The life you’re living won’t do to trust
You better learn how to treat everybody
For you got to go down
Spoken: Some of you people don’t realize it.
Taking the world by storm.
Don’t even know hoe to treat your family.
Doing all kind of ways.
Living all kind of lives.
Saying everything before your children.
Treat your wife all kind of ways.
Treat your husband every kind of way.
God says:
You better learn how to treat your husband
You got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to treat your husband
You got to go down, you got to go down
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The life you’re living won’t do to trust
You better learn how to treat your husband
You got to go down
Spoken: *Cause* the mother to get careless.
But God tells you how to raise a
child.
You got to *place you* say everything before the child.
And do
everything before.
God says:
You better learn how to live ‘fore children
You got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to live ‘fore children
You got to go down, you got to go down
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The life you’re living won’t do to trust
You better learn how to live ‘fore everybody
You got to go down
Spoken: And you’re traveling through the world.
And don’t know how to treat
your wife.
And giving everybody else the thing that you ought to give to your
wife.
God says:
You better learn how to treat your companion
You got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to treat your companion
You got to go down, you got to go down
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The life you’re living won’t do to trust
You better learn how to treat your companion
You got to go down
Spoken: And you’re traveling through the world.
Some people think;
just because a man is a drunkard;
And will drink liquor sometime and cut up and raise sand;
if they come and
carry him to your house
You got to carry him in before the Lord.
When God save him *you can suggest
saving your own self*.
God says:
You better learn how to treat that drunkard
You got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to treat that drunkard
You got to go down, you got to go down
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The life you’re living won’t do to trust
You better learn how to treat that drunkard
You got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to treat that drunkard
For you got to go down, you got to go down
You better learn how to treat that drunkard
You got to go down, you got to go down
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The life you’re living won’t do to trust
You better learn how to treat that drunkard
For you got to go down
