about

This song was written and recorded by Fiddlin John Carson in 1923 in
New York, NY, and was released on the Okeh record label. I first came
across this song on a Foghorn Stringband album, and I love it's positive
message for all of mankind, not just the men!

lyrics

When a boy goes wrong and leaves his home
He’ll pass by the good of his town
Oh go lend him your hand & help him to stand
Be kind to a man while he’s down.

Forgive & forget there’s good in him yet
He’ll drink his sorrow to drown
Oh go lend him your hand and help him to stand
Be kind to man while he’s down.

When a man is down don’t pass him by
Just give him one smile
Oh go lend him your hand and help him to stand
Be kind to man while he’s down.

Forgive & forget there’s good in him yet
He’ll drink his sorrow to drown
Oh go lend him your hand and help him to stand
Be kind to man while he’s down.

When a hand is lent to a soul a soul that's almost spent
There’ll be a bright star in his crown,
Oh go lend him your hand and help him to stand
Be kind to a man while he’s down

Forgive & forget there’s good in him yet
He’ll drink his sorrow to drown
Oh go lend him your hand and help him to stand
Be kind to man while he’s down.
