My fur-coat's sold (could be -coat's old)
Oh, lord ain't it cold
But I'm not gonna holler
'cause I've still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oooo I get high
My man walked out
Now you know that ain?t right
He better watch out
If I meet him tonight
I said when I get low
Oooo I get high
All the hard times in this town has found me
Nobody knows but the troubles are all around me (I'm not 100% sure of
these two lines)
Ooooo-
I?m all alone
With noone to pet me
My old rocking chair
Ain?t never gonna get me
?cause when I get low
Oooo I get high
Wheeen Iii geeet looow
