Now That I'm Down

When I had money
 I was the talk of the town
 But now I'm broke and raggely
 And they don't even want me around
 Bad, bad, boy
 How your friends can let you down
 You know I think I'll pack my rags
 And move on to some other town
 Now when I had money, all of the party was all on me
 You know I'm made everybody high, now
 And we'd all ride around in my brand new Mark III
 I said it's bad, boy, and, Lord, you know I don't even have a dime
 And when I try to call or see one of my friends, Lord, they say
 "Son, I just don't have the time"
 My baby walked up to me one day and she said
 "Son, you know this is all"
 "'Cause all your money's gone
 And you know I love to ball"
 And I just couldn't believe it, now, Lord
 The words that my baby said
 You know all I could do then, ha
 Was walk by and shake my head
 Now I'm doing all right
 And I'm on my feet again
 And I don't need nobody to help me
 To drink up my whiskey, wine and gin
 And I don't need you, woman
 Always running up in my face
 'Cause I done found somebody better, woman
 Someone else to take your place
 So you go right ahead, woman
 Go right on with your so-called friends
 Because I'll never, woman, no
 Let you get me back down again now
