about

Started out as a folk song and was led astray by unsavory companions.

lyrics

Don't show your wallet to a rich man
remember he don't earn his pay
don't tell your troubles to a blind man
you know he'll never see things your way
don't dine at the cozy diner
don't play gin rummy with doc
don't think that you're immune
you're not

Ch:
there's a lesson to discover
lessin' you already know
better duck and run for cover
when the wind begins to blow

Don't double down on a lost cause
you ain't impressing anyone
don't tell your mama who you slept with
don't tell your papa what you done
don't wear good clothes to the market
don't let your honor drop
don't think that it's a game
it's not (ch)

Don't pick a fight with a madman
could be yourself you're trying to beat
don't put your faith in politicians
don't put your business in the street
don't sell your soul for a nickel
don't break your heart just to hear it pop
don't think that you're immortal
you're not (ch)
