Lotus Good People Lyrics

Come gather round good people
While I have money to spend
For tomorrow maybe Monday

And I haven't got a dollar nor a friend
When I've got plenty of money good people
All my friends are all gathered around
But as soon as my pocketbook is empty
Not a friend on this earth can be found

Come gather round the people
While I have money to spend
For tomorrow maybe monday
And I haven't got a dollar nor a friend
When I've got plenty of money good people
All my friends are all gathered around
But as soon as my pocketbook is empty
Not a friend on this earth can be found

My daddy told me a plenty good people
And my momma she told me more
She said son if you don't quit these rowdy ways
There'll be trouble at your door
Go dig a hole in the meadow good people
Dig it deep in the cold cold ground
And then gather around all your kind friends

And watch this poor rounder go down
And when I'm dead and buried
With my pale faced turned to the sun
Don't be standing 'round weeping, little woman
Just think what you have done
