Verse 1

Come all you good time people,

While I have money to spend,

Tomorrow might be Monday

And I neither have a dollar nor a friend.

Verse 2
Db 
When I had  (D flat major) plenty of good money,
good people,
My friends were all standing around,
Just as soon as my pocket
book was empty
Not a friend on earth to be found.

And my pale face turned to the sun,
You can come around and mourn,

And think the way you have done
