When I had money, money, O! I knew no joy till I went poor, For many
a false man as a friend Came knocking all day at my door.
Then felt I like a child that holds A trumpet that he must not blow
Because a man is dead; I dared Not speak to let this false world know.
Much have I thought of life, and seen How poor men's hearts are ever
light; And how their wives do hum like bees About their work from
morn till night.
So, when I hear these poor ones laugh, And see the rich ones coldly
frown Poor men, think I, need not go up So much as rich men should
come down.
When I had money, money, O! My many friends proved all untrue; But
now I have no money, O! My friends are real, though very few.
