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
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.
