Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Charlie Walker performing Harlan Howard's tune "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down"
This song went to No. 2 on the country music charts in late 1958.


"Pick Me Up on Your Way Down" written by Harlan Howard
Lyrics
"You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style
And you've never once looked back at your home across the track
You're the gossip of the town but my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground pick me up on your way down.

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown pick me up on your way down.

--- Instrumental ---

Now they've changed your attitude made you haughty and so rude
Your new friends can take the blame underneath you're still the same
When you'll find these things are true I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground pick me up on your way down.

Pick me up on your way down when you're blue and all alone
When their glamour starts to bore you come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy but they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown pick me up on your way down..."

Here is the original from 1958
