Goin' Down Lyrics

Yeah!
A but yeah
A but yeah I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down down down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down down down

A woman gone, says she don't wanna me no more
A woman gone, says she don't wanna me no more
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down, yeah since she's been gone
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down down down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down down down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down I'm goin' down down down down

A woman has left, and I just can't do no good
A woman done left me, and I just can't do no good
Ever since she's been gone, I've been goin' down down down down down

Yes, I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down down
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down
I got my big feet in da winda, and my head on the ground
What's the matter?, what's the matter with me?
I wonder what's the matter, what's the matter with me?

I've been goin' down, ever since the woman been gone
I've been goin' down, ever since the woman been gone
I've been goin' down, down down
I've been goin' down, down down down down
I've been goin' down, down down down down
down down down down

I got my big feet in your winda, and my head on the ground
I got my big feet in your winda, and my head on the ground
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down down down
I'm goin' down down down
Yeah! Van
You're cookin'
Goin' down
I'm goin' down down down

Woke up at six o'clock in the morning
Six o'clock in the morning
I was goin' down
I'm goin' down goin' down
I'm goin' down
I got my big feet in your winda, and my head on the ground
Got my head on the ground

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Goin' Down lyrics by Van Morrison

by TheDirge

18y ago

This is largely sung by John Lee Hooker with a little Van responding at the end. Track from the album 'The Blues Buddies'. It is a simple blues track about losing what's important to you (a relationship) and falling into sadness and depression.
