 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.
