Songtexte When I Get Low I Get High - Ella Fitzgerald

My fur coat's old
Oh Lord, ain't it cold?
But I'm not gonna holler
'Cause I've still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oh, I get high

My man walked out
Now you know that ain't right
Well, he better watch out
If I meet him tonight
I said when I get low
Oh, I get high

All the hard luck in this town has found me
Nobody knows but the troubles are all around me
Oh-oh

I'm all alone
With no one to pet me
My old rocking chair
Ain't never gonna get me
'Cause when I get low
Oh, I get high

When I get low
Oh-oh
I get high
