Not Fit
I’m not fit
to be in the company of women.
I drink a bit,
Smell like the jungles of India
I curse and I spit,
I know I’m gonna be mean to ya
I’m not fit,
To even be anywhere near ya
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down, down on me
Don’t be down on me
I had a gal,
I left her on Strawberry Hill
I should’ve stuck around,
And helped her pay the electric bill
I left her light
Burning all night long down there
And it ain’t right if you ain’t gonna pay your share
Now,
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down, down on me
Don’t be down on me
I’ve had my fortunes told,
I’ve had my time unrolled,
I don’t want to die alone, no
So, take me home, you take me home,
You take me home… tonight
I’m no good,
at asking please or saying thank you
I’ll lick your knife,
and I’ll butter your toast with a rusty spoon
I’ll talk all night and
I won’t even tell you how pretty you are
I’m impolite, I’ll drink you up in a dirty jar
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down on me
Don’t be down, down on me
Don’t be down on me

a legendary love song
July 26th, 2008
Revolutionary new version of this old song, appears on the 2008 album Raise Up The Tent. Reed Mathis on bass. Trevor’s got a new plucky piano sound on this arrangement, and there is a mysterious jam coda at the end. At track 6, it’s like the closing song of “Side A”, said Josh.
Title shortened to “Not Fit” from I’m Not Fit aka Don’t Be Down.
Incredible song. One of the greatest.
