Lyrics

Oh, I haven't gotten any money, people

Oh, I have no place to call my own

Oh, I haven't gotten any money now, people

Oh, I have no place to call my own

Oh, I don't have any sisters or brothers

It seems like I'm in this world all alone

When I had a good job

I would help almost any friend of mine

Oh, when I had a good job, people

I would help almost any friend of mine

Oh, but now I'm broke and need a favor

After ain't gotten a lot of dine

Also take a fool's advice, people

Don't you loan all of your money to your friend

Oh, take a fool's advice

Don't you loan all of your money to your friend

Oh, you've gonna have a lot of money

But look now what a shape I'm in
