Savoy Brown - Mr. Downchild Lyrics
Well I'm a downchild baby
And I've been down since I was born
Well I'm a downchild baby
And I was down the day I was born, oh
Won't somebody please, help the downchild
I've been walking the streets woman
You know since I were quite young
And I've been walking the streets woman
Well ya know since I were quite young, quite young
Won't somebody please, oh help the downchild
Help me now
Oh. help me baby
Well you know the shape I'm in
Oh won't somebody please help me baby
Won't somebody please help the downchild
Oh you know the downchild baby
And I've been down since I was born
And I'm a downchild baby
And I've been down since I was born
Won't somebody please, help the downchild
And I cried baby
And I cried the whole night long
And I cried
Till the tears coming rolling down
You know I cried
And I know I cried
Oh I'm a downchild baby, tell my mother

Savoy Brown Mr. Downchild Comments
One of my favorite albums.
From the first moment I heard this song upon its release I had to find the album, scouring every record store of Amherst, MA, until I did. After 51 years it still is just as bluesy, beautiful, and powerful.
This song makes me smile because my best friend named Robert brought the album getting to the point to school in 1972. We were in 12th grade art class. The teacher let students bring in music to play during art class. Most kids brought in albums by Chicago, Don McLean etc. Robert brought this song in and blew minds. The rest of the class had never heard Mr. Downchild before. I became an instant fan of Savoy Brown.
Makes me smile, makes me cry, makes me wonder why...play it again Sam. Sweet, sweet Savoy blues....
Let's hear it for the great Chris Youlden. The voice of authority! Apparently the guitar solo was recorded by putting Simmons' amp at one end of a corridor at Decca studios and the mic at the other end!
Grew up in Appalachian area with alot of people to take care of. Lots of Irish kids on welfare. Our song. And thanks.
You mean it was stolen from the areas original music? Sucks if true. I heard a guy playing old timey harp the other night. He could play and could entertain an audience. The one tune he claimed to by original he full out ripped off. I have it on a collection of obscure harp music.
Don Schmitz can we get over who stole who's music? We owe the Brita for keeping the blu alive and reinvigorating it. This song surpasses The Blues Breakers and I give them kudos!
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it (1972). Thanks for posting it.
One of the great Savoy Brown songs. When I was in my first blues period in 1970 I heard this. Never looked back.
