| When I had money |
| Lord, my friends all layin' around |
| When I had money |
| Lord, my friends all layin' around |
| But now an I spent all my money |
| All of my friends cannot be found |
| Now your friend don’t know you |
| Boys, when you down an out |
| Your friend don’t know you |
| Boys, when you down an out |
| If you ask them for a favor |
| They don’t know what it’s all about |
| Now they’ll stop here to tell you |
| Boys, what your friend will do |
| Yes, they just stop here to tell you |
| Boys, what your friend will do |
| They’ll help you spend all yo' money |
| And sing farewell to you |
| 'Play that thing, boy' |
| (harmonica) |
| Well, I’m goin' away to leave you |
| Oh yes, I’m goin' away |
| Yes, I’m goin' away to leave you |
| Oh yes, I’m goin' away |
| Because my friends have forsaken me |
| Boys, you know they threw me away |
