Lyrics

My fur-coat's sold, oh Lord, ain't it cold?
But I'm not gonna holler 'cause I've still got a dollar
And when I get low, oh, I get high
My man walked out, now you know that ain't right
Well, he better watch out if I meet him tonight
I said when I get low, oh, I get high
All this hard luck in this town has found me
Nobody knows how troubles all drown around me, oh
I'm all alone with no one to pet me
My old rocking chair ain't never gonna get me
'Cause when I get low, oh, I get high
When I get low, oh, I get high
