Just look how it`s rainin`, my feet`s on the ground
Just look how it`s rainin`, and my poor feet`s on the ground
For the woman I`ve made happy, well she`s after every man in town
Friends please open your door, and don`t drive me away
Please open your door, and don`t drive me away
The rent man has put me outdoors, and I`ve got no place to stay
Let me stay here tonight, it`s ice all on the ground
Let me stay here tonight, it`s ice all over the ground
Cause I`m motherless and I`m fatherless, and please don`t turn me down
When I had plenty money, I had friends all over town
When I had plenty of money, I had friends all over town
But just as soon as I got outdoors, none of my friends could be found
After mother and father`s gone, a dollar`s your right-hand friend
After mother and father`s gone, dollar`s your right-hand friend
Then after your last dollar`s gone, you`re like a road that has no end
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, lord where will I go
I`m beggin` you my friend, don`t drive me from your door
I cannot sleep on the ground, there`s nothing but ice and snow
