Lyrics Welcome to Try - Gordon Lightfoot
I
have
been
down
in
the
valley
of
tears
I
have
stood
on
the
highest
peak
For
the
best
part
of
a
week
Battered
and
bruised
I
had
pulled
myself
through
Every
seen
I
would
never
repeat
I
have
hung
out
with
the
beasts
of
the
field
And
with
them
I've
spent
many
long
nights
Got
in
some
awful
bad
fights
I
came
unstuck,
I
was
down
on
my
luck
And
I'm
still
gettin'
over
the
bites
Sounds
of
my
own
heart
breaking,
not
to
mention
my
mind
Nothing
can
hurt
me,
a
small
voice
said
into
a
mike,
take
a
hike
No
one
will
lead
me
astray
anymore
You
are
welcome
to
try
if
you
like
Welcome
to
try
if
you
like
I
had
been
down
in
the
valley
so
long
I
had
almost
run
out
of
respect
Got
in
right
up
to
my
neck
Battered
but
wise
to
the
truth
and
the
lies
That
no
layman
would
ever
accept
Reaching
for
all
of
the
good
things
in
life
Can
provide
some
suprises
I
guess
It
may
be
the
way
we
are
dressed
These
threads
that
you
see
mean
so
little
to
me
They
don't
count
when
they
put
us
to
rest
Late
about
dusk
I
would
start
to
feel
One
more
day
had
been
lost
Nothing
I'd
say
ever
seemed
to
convey
How
I
felt
with
that
I
have
dealt
All
of
my
children
are
healthy
and
sane
They
may
say
anything
that
they
like
Say
anything
that
they
like
Sitting
alone
in
the
Blue
Ridge
Saloon
Is
no
place
for
an
angel
to
be
Ladies
make
faces
at
me
Battered
but
clean
I
had
pulled
my
machine
Off
the
road,
I
was
too
tired
to
see
Wearing
a
smile
like
the
rim
of
a
cup
I
will
get
down
to
my
final
point
There
is
no
one
left
to
annoint
And
the
sowing
of
seed
was
it
good,
yes
indeed
It
thrills
me
but
only
to
a
point
Use
your
imagination,
try
every
trick
in
the
book
My
mother
said
with
the
life
that
I
led
I'd
be
broke
Holy
smoke
All
of
my
children
are
healthy
and
wise
They
may
say
anything
that
they
like
If
they
want
ta
preach
and
are
not
within
reach
They
may
say
anything
that
they
like
Say
anything
that
they
like
