Album:

My Kind Of Blues

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
 Spending my money
 Honey I didn't care
 Taking my friends out for a mighty good time
 I drank that good gin
 Champagne and wine


 Just as soon as my money got low I couldn't find no friends
 And I had no place to go
 If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
 I'm gonna hold on to it 'til that eagle grins


 'Cause I found out that nobody wants you
 Nobody wants you when they find out that you're down and out
 In your pocket there's not
 Not one penny
 And as for friends you don't have any


 Just let you get back up on your feet again
 Here they all come telling you their your old long lost friend
 And this I wanna tell you and about it I have no doubt
 Nobody wants you
 Nobody needs you
 Nobody wants when you're down and out
