Friendless Blues by Monette Moore Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know what's on your mind, you're going away
It surely breaks my heart, 'cause you're going to stay
I might've known you couldn't be true
I lost my good friend fooling with you
Listen here, Mr. So-And-So
Let me tell you this before you go

[Verse 2]
You brought me far away from home
You brought me far away from home
And leave me friendless, brokenhearted, and alone

[Verse 3]
I ain't got no clothes, can't buy no meat
I ain't got no clothes, can't buy no meat
I'm a rolling stone on these cold and friendless streets

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I've cried and walked with my shoes down at the heel
Baby, shoes down at the heel
So if you've ever been friendless, you know just how I feel
[Verse 5]
When I had money, you had hats and shoes
Baby, you had hats and shoes
Now that it's gone, you're leaving your mama with the friendless blues
