Tomorrow might be Monday
And I neither have a dollar nor a friend.

My friends were all standing around,
Just as soon as my pocket

Not a friend on earth to be found.

Going back to old Virginia
For to gamble my last card game.

Go did a hole in the ground.
Come around all you good people
And see this poor rounder go down.

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

And think the way you have done
How did you like the song?
