Best Of Friends Must Part The 6 Feb 1908 lyrics

1st verse:]
What`s that you say?
No work today?
Done lost your job?
Where is your pay?
Been shooting dice?
That`s very nice
Needn`t apologize, I`m cold as ice
Pack up your clothes
Lord only knows
You`ve been the cause of my troubles and woes
Don`t ask me why
Too late to cry
Just bid yourself goodbye

[chorus:]
A friend in need is a friend indeed
That`s just the kind of friend I`ve been to you
When poverty smiled down on thee
I hung around and stuck like glue
It`s a long long lane that has no turn
You can never tell your finish when you start
But when you find you can`t make both ends meet
Then the best of friends must part

[2nd verse:]
Don`t talk of love
Just like a dove
Can`t eat the stars
That shine above
That stuff don`t go
You`d better blow
Can`t buy a meal with that lovin` you know
I know it`s hard
On your old pard
But I can`t help that you played your last card
Don`t hesitate
Evaporate
Hunt up another mate
