The Down And Out Blues 1938 BudF

A pal who was once your pal
who ceases to be your pal
was never your pal at all,
and a gal who was once your gal
who ceases to be your gal
that will cause your downfall.
Here is a little suggestion
will anyone answer this question?

When you're tired, lonesome
walking around the town
and the rain comes uninvited
in your shoes,
what are you goin' to say?
What are you goin' to do?
Sing the down and out blues.
All you possess
in this great big world
is an appetite
that you're trying your best to lose,
What are you goin' to say?
What are you goin' to do?
Sing the down and out blues.
When your dreams and schemes
have gone astray
and your pals and gals
have left you on your own.
Laugh and the world laughs with you
weep and you weep alone.
What can you do?
Where can you go to?
Beggars cannot choose.
Tired, lonesome walking
around the town
singing the down and out blues.
