Lyrics When I Get Low I Get High - Ella Fitzgerald , Chick Webb and His Orchestra

My fur-coat's sold, 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 this hard luck in this town
Has found me
Nobody knows how troubles
All drown around me, 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, I get high
